Château Haut-Brion--Vintage 1998
Pessac (Graves), 1er cru classé.
Offered in original wooden cases
Tasting note: Merlot 55 Cabernet Sauvignon 35 Cabernet Franc 10 Deep, still plummy-purple ; nose initially sweet, vanillin but with considerable depth, developing a touch of rich tarryness; pleasant sweetness and weight, mouthfilling, with fragrant fruit, good length and grip. Considered the best since the '89s and '90s. A fairly long-haul wine, say 2012-2025. Michael Broadbent, Vintage Wine, 2002. (4/2002) ****
