WTN: 1998 Rion Clos Vougeot

A year and a half ago another Cellartracker review named KENK said: "Dusty musty with sour cherry aromas A dirt driven nose. A fairly straight forward Burgundy, that is reasonably pleasant, yet not terribly distinctive. A bit hard and disjointed with good grip and dry stewy red fruits. A tad austere with some nice spices. Reasonable length and quite drinkable, yet nothing profound." Excellent description; not much has changed. But I can add that we decanted the wine before dinner--an hour was intended but two passed before we finally sat down, so we actually drank it over the third hour. It was noticeably diminished by the end of the last glass. Time to finish these, I think.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
