{"title":"Wines: Pauillac","description":"\u003cp\u003ePauillac is an important commune of the Medoc on the left bank of Bordeaux's Gironde estuary. Sandwiched between St. Estephe to the north and St. Julien so the south, the village boasts three of the Medoc’s five first growths ranked in the official Classification of 1855. They include Chateau Lafite, Latour, and Mouton. It is also home to no less than 12 fifth growths, whose fierce competition has led to a increase in the standard of their wine. Consequently, at a fraction of the price, they are often considered are great deal when compared to first growths and even “super seconds”.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"darmailhac-2003-750ml","title":"d'Armailhac - 2003 (750ml)","description":"","brand":"David Grey","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43035099234467,"sku":"128648","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/products\/128648_b28e48c3-560c-4ace-b257-479aac62631a.jpg?v=1680525553"},{"product_id":"pichon-longueville-comtesse-de-lalande-1987-750ml","title":"Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande - 1987 (750ml)","description":"","brand":"Joel December 25","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43035359674531,"sku":"134777","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/files\/PichonLonguevilleComtessedeLalande-1987_750ml.jpg?v=1723043632"},{"product_id":"mouton-rothschild-1998-750ml","title":"Mouton Rothschild - 1998 (750ml)","description":"Like many of its peers, the 1998 has filled out spectacularly.

Winemaker Philippe Dhalluin, who was not working at the property back then, told me that the pH was fairly low at 3.54 when it is usually around 3.75, due to the natural tartaric acid in the vines. It has a powerful and intense bouquet as always: exemplary graphite and cedar scents, a touch of black pepper and incense. It seems to unfurl in the glass, like a motor revving its engine. The palate is beautifully balanced with its trademark firm tannic structure, a Mouton-Rothschild with backbone and masculinity. Layers of black fruit intermingling with mint and graphite, a hint of licorice emanating from the Merlot, gently fanning out and my God, it is incredibly long. It is not like the 1985 Mouton-Rothschild that is so fleshy and generous. This is serious, aristocratic Mouton, a true vin de garde and yes, I do think drinkers will have to wait until it reaches its true peak. Sometimes that's just the way it is.
