Medium garnet hue. Pronounced bouquet of dark fruit, with cassis, earthy, honey, mushroom. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. Supple tannins with a medium finish. Complex and balanced. Thoroughly enjoyable and aging gracefully. 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. — 19 days ago

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

9.3

1998 vintage. Top-notch fill (almost too good) and perfect cork with very little lower-level saturation. Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Appropriate, chunky sediment. Last tasted 12.17.23 (9.2). Had some nice older leather, dry summer earth and ripe plum in the nose throughout with only a modicum of "funk" that blew off quickly. Medium body. Still vibrant color. Initially, the experience was front-loaded but, after 30 minutes or so, the fruit and structure began to fill in/slide back and balance out the mid-palate and finish. More consistent specimen than the one tasted almost 3 months ago. Don't feel it needs more time to knit/resolve affairs but can likely hold in this phase for 4-5 years without degradation. 3.10.24. — 2 months ago
