Product Description
NM94 "Tasted at the Amuse Bouche offline in Hong Kong. Thank you to Gautam for proffering this splendid magnum, the larger format showing how it can age in more superior fashion to a bottle. Of course, this was the vintage that saw the First Growth exit the doldrums. It has a classic, crisp, well-defined bouquet with fresh tobacco, undergrowth, dried flowers and minerals, still full of vigour and joy. The palate is beautifully balanced with very fine tannins and a fresh thread of acidity that goes from start to finish. Given the vintage then yes, it is a little foursquare and it lacks the chutzpah of the 1983. But for pure drinking pleasure, this 1978 ticks all the boxes." NM for WJ Jan 2012
