Tasting notes
For whatever reason, the now-mature 1978, while fruity, quite charming, and soft, never quite had the depth and dimension of the 1979. Now taking on some amber/orange color, this wine has a herbaceous, oaky fragrance, soft, loosely knit flavors, and a smooth finish. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 1/91.
