Score 88/100 · Drink 2006-2016, Robert Parker, Apr 2001

With a dense ruby/purple color, this closed yet promising, large-scaled, muscular 1998 offers earthy, black currant, and cherry aromas intertwined with scents of minerals and smoke. Powerful, dense, thick, and tannic, it is an uncompromising vin de garde requiring 5-7 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2016.

A delicious St.-Emilion, with loads of chocolate and tobacco. Medium- to full-bodied, with medium, velvety tannins and a medium finish. Best after 2003. 10,415 cases made. -James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
