roasted nuts

multi-layered

my notes on both tastings are nearly identical

All three of the 1987 Heitz Cabernets are extremely tight

I couldn't get this off my palate

Lafite - 1998 (6L) Size:6L roasted nutsA blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, the 1998 Lafite Rothschild is deep garnet with a hint of brick and gorgeous notions of sandalwood, crme de cassis, smoked meats, black pepper and garrigue with touches of chargrill, dried herbs and mincemeat pie. Medium bodied, soft and plush on the palate, it has tons of mouth filling savory and plum preserves flavors and a very long, savory finish. Delicious now, it should keep for 15 20 more years
