Thursday, October 12, 2023 - 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 29% Merlot 6% Cabernet Franc 4% Petit Verdot 1% Malbec

Another stellar 1998 that overdelivered beyond the critical reading of this supposedly mediocre vintage for Left Bank Bordeaux. GL packs plenty of charm and characters. Lots of dark fruits (blackcurrant, black cherry, blackberry), black tea, old leather, sweet spice box, seaweed, mint. Amazing bottle that will have a staying power for at least a decade from now. Drink now until 2033. 91.
