The 1979 is another full-flavored, robust wine from Haut-Bages-Liberal. Quite dark ruby, with an appealing ripe cassis, spicy bouquet, and a full-bodied, meaty texture, this wine has high acidity and enough tannin to warrant cellaring. Neither refined nor elegant, it is robust, rustic, and straightforward. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 2/87.
