Happy anniversary, DW. I've had the '79 Margaux eight times, six times from single bottles and twice from magnums. This wine, imo, has never lived up the 94 Parker gave it. It's a good, solid wine, but the Margaux perfume is muted and the wine lacks the desired richness. I'd call it a 90 point wine. As far as pairing goes, my advice would be to stick to foods not overly rich, because it is possible to overwhelm this wine. I auctioned off a double magnum of it this past weekend, but have enjoyed drinking it in the past.
I'd decant it carefully and taste it right away. It won't need to breathe much, if at all. I hope your anniversry dinner is a great success.
Just one more sip.
