A good bottle with a perfect clean label, a level at base of neck and an embossed capsule covering a rock hard cork.
Maucaillou is regarded as one of the leading estates in the Moulis appellation along with others such as Chasse Spleen, Poujeaux, Clarke etc.
The 60 hectares are planted with 55% Cabernet Sauvuignon, 35% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Aged in oak barrels 50% new each vintage.

Pnp. Bottle in outstanding condition. Bottom neck fill, clean cork on top and only about 1/4 soaked. Clear garnet colour with only slight browning at the transparent rim. Plenty of forest floor on nose and palate, the later also showing leather and a touch medicinal notes. Fine tannins still there. Overall good balance. Short finish.
Not bad for a Cru Bourgeois at almost age 40. A very solid Bordeaux vintage the 79, now that the tannins have softened, don't expect greatness but the wines seem to be still drinking pretty well across the board
