1979 wine

[winoweenie]

Hi Levski and welcome to the board. 79 and 81 were not great vintages but made some nice wines. The 79 La Mission is fairly typical of the vintage. Very good but without the depth of what this superb vineyard can produce. Should be at the top of its' aging curve if properly stoted. If not, all bets are off. 195 approx. The 79 Petrus is the same story. A good, not great Petrus that was an underachiever. 395-450 with the same caveat. Have nothing on the 81. WW
