1978 proved also splendid for the Rive Droite (Right Bank), based on what we can taste today.
A relatively bold red color with light garnet hues on the edge. The intact aromas have aged splendidly in the bottle with scents of shag tobacco, juniper wood and dark chocolate. The balsamic sensation is suffused and pleasing as are the notes of tar in the background. The mouthfeel is velvety, soft and sensual enough to captivate any palate.
