Canon-la-Gaffeliere, St. Emilion Grand Cru 1998

Deep purple/red.

Vinturi - suave toasted oak, toast, grilled herbs, black fruit, grilled meat, something saline/something floral. Subtle and PFG. Savory with air time.

Deep and plush, but reined-in by a serious, but fine, vein of acid/tannin structure that runs the distance. But black fruit and spice/toast/herb flavors run with it. This is killer/loaded. Fine mineral/acid/tannic chew coats every tooth in the mouth.
