Wednesday, August 7, 2013 - Hey, it's a ready-to-drink Lafarge! Tannins are almost completely resolved and the aromas are advanced and old-winey but with a touch of sweet cocoa powder lurking in there too. This tastes very lean in its physical presence, practically a wisp of a wine, but the flavors are deep and dark, more black-and-blue fruits than red. The issue as with many '98s is that it doesn't have much freshness left to it, so I'm not sure which way this goes from here.

I bought a bunch from that consignment. Bottles have all been in great shape.
