Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1979
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé
Slightly corroded capsules. Damp-stained labels, one of which is damaged. Levels: eleven at 2,5cms or better and one one 3cms below base of corks
Tasting note: This wine has enjoyed a spectacular development in the bottle, and, while drinkable upon release, it remains one of the most sumptuous, complex, and satisfying Haut-Brions of the last twenty years. It is certainly the finest wine of the vintage from Bordeaux's Left Bank. The wine has taken on a dark plummy/garnet color, and displays a magnificent tres Haut-Brion nose of jammy black fruits, earth, tobacco, smoke, and sweet fruitcake aromas. It is rich and medium to full-bodied, with impressive elegance, purity, and overall harmony. This is not a powerhouse or exceptionally opulent style of Haut-Brion (such as the 1989 and 1990), but, rather, a more structured, yet authoritatively flavorful wine. It offers power, richness, and elegance in a wine with extraordinary equilibrium. 93 points. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition # B1 (Jan 1998)
