1998 Les Fiefs de Lagrange

[hotwine]

Popped another tonight to accompany grilled ribeyes, steamed brocolli and fresh sweet corn on the cob. Poured two hours before dinner but not decanted. Same notes as a month or so ago, but seems more intense now, with more pronounced cedar, pencil shavings showing up, red fruit is still bright as ever, moderately long finish. I could drink this stuff all night! Ribeyes were seared over oak in 102F heat but the misery was brief, knowing what was to come. Focus on the objective and attack!
