Sunday, April 15, 2018 - Following up from a bottle of the 1999 I had last week, I decided to open the 1998 with our beef stew. It’s a step up in depth and complexity from the 1999, though the two wines have a clear connection-they are both clearly Barton. For the 1998 there is deep red fruit, cedar plank, tobacco, and dusty, round finishing tannins. It’s quite complete and satisfying in a classical mode. Overall it’s pretty much everything I want in a Bordeaux. Drink now or ten years from now.
