"A spectacular offering, this massive, full-bodied 1998 boasts huge, concentrated, chocolatey, cedary, coffee, blackberry and cherry aromas as well as flavors. This low acid, multidimensional effort possesses oodles of glycerin, extract, and richness. It is a fabulously exotic, full-flavored, mouth-staining wine . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
