Score 60/100 · Drink 2015, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Jul 2015
Tasted at the La Romanée vertical at Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. The 1979 La Romanée Grand Cru, which was labeled Bouchard Père et Fils, had been purchased from the north of France by Louis-Michel Liger-Belair. It has a good deep color with modest bricking on the rim. The nose is malodorous: raw and vegetal, dirty compared to other vintages. The palate is poleaxed by piercing acidity and volatility, dry and mean on the finish. This is poor and ought to be much better. Tasted June 2015.
