79 Pichon Baron

1979 Château Pichon Longueville Baron:
Bought in Newcastle, probably in 1985, at Victoria Wine for £ 7,29, and stored in my fathers cellar since. Low neck fill, perfect cork. Ruby with brick rim. Figs, prunes, minerals, leather, anise, mature nose. Gentleman's wardrobe. Fresh acidity, tannins ripe and not fully gone. Elegant texture, Christmas spices, getting fuller (but never rich) with air. Cinamon, long finish. 92-93
