My experience with the '78 has been mixed as well though the bottle tasted at Le Cirque was the freshest I have ever had. Almost completely bricked through. A classic RC nose that also evidences notes of caramel and brown sugar with delicious| seductive and velvety flavors that are still quite powerful and notably concentrated| all wrapped in an explosive finish of seriously admirable length. This really coats the palate with dry extract the penetrating minerality really comes through right at the end| just when you think the finish has lasted as long as it's going to. While not a truly phenomenal vintage for RC| I have always liked this wine though it has clearly peaked and even though it will certainly last for more than the next decade| the average bottle is displaying the initial signs of decline and for my tastes| I would be drinking it up over the next decade. That said| the best bottles are indeed sublime.
