Vintage 1998 | a clear proof that one should have at least one compartment in the cellar with white Pessac Leognan | beautiful old gold colour, and nice smell and taste. | with smoked salmon and aspargus in PX sauce

What a wine. So subtle in acidity vs umami. Straw yellow color.

Very Forest-floor earthiness. Some fruit notes started to come out around the 2 hour mark but secondary notes were always prominent. Cant tell if it's more mature than expected or in a weird place. Definitely needed the red meat we enjoyed alongside.
