  Wow. Where have I been hiding this?
  As the year draws to a close, I try to do a little cellar thinning - trying to pull bottles I might have overlooked. A 98 Languedoc? What kind of shape could this be in?
  
  This wine is a beautifully colored garnet - lightening at the rim.
  A sniff tells me the wine is still sound - interesting aromas waft up from the glass - raw meat, blood, iron - in the mouth, it is very nicely balanced, with a decent amount of acidity carrying mouth filling cranberry flavored fruit across the palate - there's definitely a raw, meaty character to this wine, and I like it quite a bit.
  
  I don't know for sure, but I'll bet I didn't pay much more than ten bucks for this wine back then. What a score!
