Vintage 1998 - powerfull, a difficult phase? Difficult to taste. Lots of bitters.

Bricked garnet, widened rim, but still a lot of youthful sign left.
Superb bouquet of classic mature Bordeaux claret. Complex expression of savory infused cassis, blueberry, dark cherry framed by notes of seabreeze, antique leather, violet, sage, and thyme.
Completely integrated. Smooth and silky mouthfeel. With just a touch of new oak still, this wine is really a result of perfect evolution. Balanced midpalate and finish very long on that enticing savory black fruit note.
Stored in Chateau's cellar for 21 years, removed, uncorked on site. Drank at a mille-pates party at the chateau prior to the marathon. 93.

This is a fine wine - silky smooth, light fruit, understated elegance. If I could get my hands on more of this vintage, I would, and I would drink it every night until it was gone. Oh, wait. I already did that. 1998 vintage savored in May 2016.
