The 1978 La Lagune remains deep in color, with no sign of maturity. The expansive bouquet suggests roasted nuts, plums, and fresh new oak. On the palate, the wine is tannic, but lush and silky, with oodles of fruit present. It has been slow to evolve, and at its age, still tastes young and vigorous.
A very dependable 1978.
