Lafite - Pauillac 1892 (Recorked in 1953 & 1983) EXCL. firmly structured and mildly warm

firmly structured and mildly warm finish that goes on and on

A close second (and who knows how they might perform at different times and with different foods) is the 2012 Cariad Proprietary Red Wine

One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage (as well as one of the most concentrated Bordeaux’s I have ever tasted)

and there's no sweetness whatsoever

Mugnier made first-rate '98s and the Amoureuses is one of the clear successes of the vintage with its higly expressive and wonderfully complex nose that has gone secondary yet remains quite fresh
