Brunello Montalcino 1979, Poggio Salvi
Korket, ikke vurdert
Chateau Mouton Rothschild 1979, Pauillac
Enkel frukt igjen nå, "lean" med lyse moreller. Elegant, men viser at Mouton lagde middels vin på 70-tallet. Selv om Phillippe skulle levert bedre siden MR ble elevert til 1cru i 1973....90 poeng.
Grange Hermitage 1979, Penfolds
Den luktet sinnsykt intens da jeg tok opp korken, men etter 3t. uten kork ble den betydelig roligere på nesa. Blir litt flabby over tid i glasset med svakere syre, men en morsom vin. Solbær, dyp, lær, kaffe, moden og solvarm. Men nok ikke den heftigste årgangen av Grange. 92 poeng
The 1979 vintage is a blend of 87% Shiraz and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Kalimna and other Barossa Valley vineyards, Valley Clare, Magill Estate and McLaren Vale. An unusually wet but hot growing season. The finished Grange was treated to eighteen months maturation in new American oak hogsheads. Alcohol 13.0%
Deep brick red. A complex, aromatic wine with dark chocolate aromas and lifted rum and raisin fruit characters. Developing aromas of raspberries as the wine breathes, plums and vanilla oak, deep briar, blackberry and toast, earth and amber fruit, the bouquets are varied and complex. The palate is bitey and solid with plenty of fruit sweetness, compounds of earthy chocolate complexity and ample, drying tannins.
