Embark on a sublime journey through the terroir of Moulis-en-Médoc with the opulent Maucaillou 1998. This exquisite specimen, conceived by the hands of the winemaking Dourthe family, encapsulates a rich history, spanning over 200 years. Meticulously produced in Bordeaux's Left Bank, the French Château Maucaillou embraces exceptional viniculture techniques for a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Expect full-bodied, voluptuous complexity on the palate, with ample notes of ripe black fruit dictated by its, even now, youthful tannins. Alongside this, the wine's maturation for 18 months in oak barrels conjures an elegant symphony of mocha and cedarwood undertones. The lasting finish of the Maucaillou 1998 is testaments to its lauded vintage, with a remarkable balance ensuring this grand cru's position amongst the wine world’s elite. An invaluable addition to your cellar, this dignified offering is a true talisman of both its producer's ethos and renowned Bordeaux heritage. |

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (87-90)Bright purple-ruby. Highly floral nose offers scents of lavender, lily, violet, blackberry, cedar and graphite. Lush, rich and sweet on entry, with rich black fruit and smoky underbrush flavors given adequate lift by lively acidity. Finishes pure, clean and long, with a trace of warmth, lingering notes of minerals and coffee, and a healthy dose of youthfully aggressive tannins. This wine will need at least a few years to resolve its tannins but should prove to be a splendid Maucaillou. |

Wine Enthusiast (89)88-90 Acidity and fresh fruit are out of balance with smoky wood. The wine will need to integrate in the coming months, although all the elements are there. |
