Wine Advocate (100)As heavenly and profound as it gets, the still youthful-colored 1978 Hermitage la Chapelle exhibits an insane bouquet of sweet cassis, truffle, smoked meats and licorice. Full-bodied, multidimensional, decadent and massive on the palate, with a stacked mid-palate and still present, sweet tannin, it tastes like a mix of the more fruit-loaded '90 and the more evolved, smoky and soy-laced '61. You could easily run out of adjectives describing this beauty, but it's a perfect wine any way you look at it. I see no reason to hold off, and it's drinking perfectly for my palate today, but it certainly won't fall off a cliff anytime soon. |

The Glenmorangie Pride 1978 1978 is an exquisite expression of single malt Scotch crafted by the iconic Glenmorangie Distillery. Nestled in the Scottish Highlands, the distillery is renowned for its unique whisky-making process where the spirit matures in American white oak casks before being part-finished in 27-year-old Premier Grand Cru claret casks. This specific maturation lends the Glenmorangie Pride 1978 1978 a flavor profile unlike any other, characterised by deep, enticing notes of cherry, mint chocolate, and honeycomb. Poured into a glass, its allure is undeniable; the whisky glows a rich mahogany and gives off a luscious bouquet of almond and mandarin. Offering unparalleled complexity and profound richness, the Glenmorangie Pride 1978 1978 captures the essence of its Highland birthplace, embodying the mastery and heritage of its esteemed producer. A true testament to the art of fine whisky production, each sip is a celebration of time-honoured tradition and unrivalled craftsmanship. |

Wine Advocate (84)Showing slightly better than when I last tasted it, the 1978 l'Evangile displays a medium ruby/garnet color with some brown at the edge. Although more herbaceous than most vintages, there is plenty of smoky tea and curranty-flavored fruit, decent body, above average concentration, and a spicy, peppery (atypical) finish. Drink it before the end of this century. Last tasted, 7/93. |

Wine Advocate (88)The 1978 La Lagune remains deep in color, with no sign of maturity. The expansive bouquet suggests roasted nuts, plums, and fresh new oak. On the palate, the wine is tannic, but lush and silky, with oodles of fruit present. It has been slow to evolve, and at its age, still tastes young and vigorous. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 12/89. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (87)The 1978 Labégorce-Zédé comes from a Margaux estate that was subsumed into Labégorce back in 2009. To be frank, I was not expecting a great deal, yet it has a charming nose. Yes, it is filled to the brim with brettanomyces but has lovely meat juice aromas. The palate is very savoury at first and then develops potent espresso-like notes. Fades a little in the glass, but no complaints. Drink soon if you have a bottle. Tasted blind at Medlar restaurant dinner. |

Wine Advocate (85)The 1978 is a vegetal, cedary, coffee, and berry-scented Mouton. It is pleasant, but lacks the concentration and depth expected of a first-growth. The wine is medium-bodied, with a slight greenness to its curranty, earthy flavors, and moderately astringent, bitter tannin in the finish. It is a pleasant wine that is unlikely to develop additional complexity or richness. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted 10/97 |

Wine Advocate (89)Bottles of 1978 Petrus can be variable. I guess it depends on how you like your Pomerol. Here, served blind against the 1978 Hermitage La Chapelle, well, let's be honest, the Rhône is leaps and bounds superior. The Petrus is modest in terms of intensity, autumnal and a little leafy, a light marine influence developing with time and a hint of wild mint. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, balanced if lacking depth. There is harmony here, and a sense of honesty. There is nothing out of place, although it does come across as a wine content to be a second-tier Petrus. While not as good as the previous bottle I encountered over a decade ago, it is a decent Petrus that should be consumed over the next ten years. Tasted March 2014. |
