Critic tasting note: (1978 vintage) "Fully mature, this excellent example of classic Bordeaux is bit on the rustic side. Still, there is more than enough to keep you busy here. The tobacco dusted, red fruit offers additional notes of cigar leaf, forest floor, pepper and green leafy scents. There is a stern side to the tannins, that with air, softens, leaving with a bite of crisp, juicy, Cabernet Sauvignon with just a hint of cranberry in the finish. There is no reason not to be pulling a cork on this wine. 91 Points" - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
