98 Vieux Chateau Certan

The third wine in the flight with the 98 Haut Brion and 98 La Mission Haut Brion, this was no contest as the 98 VCC was on fire! Aromas of black cherries, spice box, and crème de cassis wafted from the glass, and the palate was pure silk, with powerful chewy ripe cherry fruit, beautiful textured structure, and mouth watering acidity. An otherworldly finish seemed to last for days. Just outstanding.
