1998 Chateau La Clusiere St. Emilion

I arrived in Bordeaux today for a couple of days to see friends and for a wedding, and I drank this. The 1998 Right Bank are great now. Buy and drink!

This is a phenomenal bottle with licorice, violet and berries on nose. Full body with soft and velvety tannins and a velvety finish. This is perfect now. A fabulous wine. Shame this isn’t made anymore. The small estate was absorbed by Pavie. Last vintage was 2001, if I remember correctly. 95 points.
