1998 Chateau Coufran

[Drew]

Cru Bourgeois, Haut-Médoc. 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
This was probably hard as nails on release cause it's a little tough now. Still purple to the core, an onslaught of tannins hit you right away. I sipped on this for many hours and it only opened a little to display dark fruit with hints of cigar box and a pleasant earthy, bitter note. Saved half for this afternoon to see if this beast will calm any and show a little more fruit and civility. 13% Alc/vol. $17
