Black fruit retaining good freshness for a '79. Moderate complexity, but everything is in harmony right now so this is a very enjoyable wine.
(10-1991) A well-knit, extremely balanced wine, with lovely fruit flavors and an enticing finish. Offers delicate raspberry and other berry aromas, a balance of fine fruit flavors and integrated tannins. Full-bodied and delicious now, but will improve.
