1998 Ch. Cantelys

[hotwine]

Appellation Pessac Leognan, Grand Vin de Bordeaux. Checked out our new Costco today, and stumbled across this one; totally unknown to me, so I picked up a couple and decided to try with leftover smoked chuck roast tonight. Excellent Bordeaux character, with just the components that I look for - saddle leather, cigar and a bit of black currant. Drinking very nicely now, but should improve with a little bottle age. And the price - the princely sum of $16.99.
