chateau olivier 1998 (pessac-leognan)[mainly merlot and cab sav]
garnet; initially some blackcurrent, plum, cedar, tobacco, hint of mushroom/corn as it opens up, secondary, with air ... parts melded, fresh, someone said sweaty t-shirt?; fruit, wood, tannins and acid intergrated, very nice; linear; long with dried fruit/flower finish; 12.5%; BANG!
