Score 89/100 · Drink 2000-2006, Pierre Rovani, Oct 1998

Stylistically different, this medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine offers a nose of violets, minerals, stones, and cassis. On the palate, it is a masculine, expansive, and broad-shouldered wine jam-packed with sweet blackberries, black cherries, and cassis. Medium-to-full-bodied, structured, and velvety textured, it possesses an impressively long and soft finish. Projected maturity: 2000-2006. Bouchard's qualitative resurgence continues. It is extremely gratifying to see the efforts put forth by Joseph Henriot, this negociant's new owner and the talented duo of Misters Hervet and Prost, respectively the firm's director and wine-maker. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.
