The '79 Beaulieu Georges Latour Private Reserve is unquestionably the finest
reserve Cabernet made at the winery in the last 50 years.  This is not only
the word of the winemaker, but has been declared by every knowledgable wine
writer as well.  The great string of gold medals at judgings has just begun.

It is, however, a genuine "reserve" wine, ie. it must be properly aged for at
least ten years before its greatest glory starts to display itself.  The 
present condition is nevertheless astonishing: intense, deep color, very rich
fruit with noticable oak, and quite tannic.  Years from now, when the wine is
in its prime, it will be balanced and memorable.  If you have a cellar, buy a
case, and in 20 years it will be as greats like '53 Chateau Margaux or '49
Chateau Lafite are today.  This is certainly a rare, special treat.
