1979 Château La Tour Haut-Brion;
Top fill, in the neck, ruby with garnet rim, cassis, plums, minerals, smoky touch, leather, anise, spices and hint of flowers. Later on cherry stones. Quite intense nose, reminds me of La Mission (to which it is now incorporated). Fresh acidity, towards high even, tannins ripe and soon gone, layered, velvety, slightly lean finish, but very long. Splendid bottle. 93+
