Alexandra Fondren, JJ Buckley, May 2013
Medium garnet core fades to a brick rim. Though it takes some coaxing, with air the bouquet reveals dried plum and black cherry, along with tobacco, savory mushroom and roasted meat, followed by a faint herbal note. Medium-bodied on entry, with tart cherry, damp earth, pepper and iron-tinged minerality. Balanced acidity helps to maintain freshness while fine tannins add structure, from the mid palate through the pleasant finish. A classic 1979, this should be enjoyed in the near-term, with duck or roast chicken.
