What drinkers rate it

Should you buy the 1979?
The recorded drinking window closed in 2024. Bottles can still show well when they have been stored properly, but you are buying a mature wine and should treat provenance as the deciding factor rather than the price.
Whatever you pay, ask the seller when the bottle was last moved and how it has been kept. Storage history changes what a mature bottle is worth far more than a few pounds on the shelf price.
