CHATEAU L'HERMITAGE 1998 |

Château l'Hermitage 1998 St. Emilion, Grand CruPacked in a 12-bottle original wooden case, all level bn, slightly scuffed slightly scuffed labels, 2 nicked labels, 3 slightly sunken corksThe second vintage of this special cuvée made by Château Matras. Old vines and a magnificent natural amphitheatre setting, plus malolactic fermentation in 100% oak barrels, produce a wine that bowled me over. Very serious vineyard husbandry and wine-making lie behind this gem. Serena Sutcliffe, MW9 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
