I thought this was perfect. Thanks Dad. Bought on current release and cellared until now. Plenty of plum, vibrant acidity, tannis present on the end. Great complex finish. I'm happy there are 6 more in the cellar

Still plenty of structure, color was ruby not brown. Amazing complexity for a 79. What a treat!
