Score 84/100 · Drink 1989, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

The 1979 La Lagune is still youthful, but it is opening up and revealing an oaky, ripe plummy fruitiness, a moderately intense, spicy, vanillin aroma, and a clean, somewhat lean, dry finish. This is a satisfying, but unexciting La Lagune. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 12/89.
