Description
This is a classic old school claret. 1998 Bordeaux at their best display elegance, charm, opulence and character, and this wine is no exception. This wine is exclusively hand harvested, with two successive selections before and after the de-stemming process. Long period of maceration on skins for 3 weeks, followed by 16 to 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels. A larger percentage of Merlot adds a softness to this wine.
Tasting Notes: Soft tannins, coupled with freshness, smoke, truffle, cigar box, and cassis. Lingering spice notes on the finish. Could develop for another 3-5 years in bottle but beautiful expression now.
