1998 Georges Duboeuf Chiroubles

[hotwine]

We chose the Chiroubles Flower Label for our grilled hamburgers, oven-fried potatoes & baked beans this evening. Soft, slighly sweet nose, with full ripe fruit, so light that it dances on the tongue. Alcohol is 12.5%, and the color is of a bright Indian ruby. It's a big hit with the missus.
I'm now in the hunt for the '98 Ch. de Javernand. Cellar book reminds us that the '97 was truly superb, and the best example of Duboeuf's Chiroubles; the single case was quickly exhausted.
