Plum and sweet tobacco aromas that turn to blueberry. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Solid core of sweet, ripe fruit, with an exotic raspberry character. A beautiful wine since the beginning. '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Best after 2010. James Suckling,Wine Spectator2009

Undoubtedly the finest effort from Magdelaine in many years, the deep saturated ruby-colored 1998 offers up concentrated, jammy black cherry as well as subtle vanilla aromas. On the palate, it is full-bodied, opulent, and ripe, with outstanding concentration, purity, and moderate tannin in the finish. This Merlot-based St.-Emilion displays considerable intensity and structure. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020. Wine Advocate.April, 2001
