Not edgy like I expected a little shut down and muddy, still intriguing

1979 Cos D'Estournel. 35 years young, and could use more time. Blown away. Bravo!

Fully mature. Dried red cherry and cranberry, leather and a bit of mint too. Nice, but drink up.

1979 vintage. Solid fill. Saturated cork but easily out with a Durand. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins-1.5 hrs. Much less sed than expected. Super funky nose immediately in the decanter but blew off after 5 mins. Light-medium body. A little chunky on the finish with more fruit than you’d suspect given the vintage. Not improving and likely to hang about in this zone for another 3-4 years before encountering another drop off. Was likely at peak approx in the early ‘90’s and has been stubbornly fighting the good fight since. 2.2.24.
