1979 Chateau Margaux

This was tasted at the November 2003 DC Crü gathering

This I only got a small taste/smell of. But it had an outrageous roasted walnuts and chestnuts nose That was quite wild. It was fairly dead on the palate though. Lots of nuttiness was hiding the fruit, which was still there, but behind the scenes. Still, interesting experience. And hey, it was free! I’d rate the little bit I had with ??85?? TJ points. I really have no idea. The nose was very kewl though.

(Jaimetown’s TNs)-- Poor vintage for Bordeaux, I think. This didn't really do anything for me.

(Fred’s TNs)-- Very Good but I only had a thimble full and really didn't get a ton out of it. That lady who brought it over and darn near put the bottle through the table was looped!
