Perfectly aged and ready now! Showing that classic touch of capsicum, olives, along with an elegant woodsy, forest floor aromatics. An absolutely must for those who like aged Bordeaux.

I had the pleasure of tasting this when Clyde dropped in recently and shared some of the latest arrivals from Bordeaux with the Hollywood crew. Since this one is a 1998 Left Bank, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is. Here's an exciting, fully mature Bordeaux at a terrific price that's drinking perfectly today. It's soft and juicy with ripe tannins and savory black currant fruit throughout. Pop a roast in the oven and open this one.

This Bordeaux opens up with very aromatic earthy and savory notes of leather, sweet tobacco and subtle hints of darker red fruit. On the palate it's smooth and soft with well-developed tannins, very savory red and black cassis notes and supple earthiness. The property consists of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot.
Notes
This Haut-Franquet was discovered by our buyers on a 2017 Bordeaux trip and it has finally arrived. A neighbor of Poujeaux, our buyers were fortunate to get their hands on a limited quantity. While some 1998 Left Bank wines are a bit coarse and tough this—like the Poujeaux—is elegant and fruit driven. Perfect hamburger wine.
