Wine Advocate #122(1999-4) Rating: (85-86) points Drink: - 2008
This is an attractively fat, commercially-styled, surprisingly soft 1998. It displays herb-tinged berry fruit, notes of saddle leather, and a medium-bodied, round finish. It should drink well for 7-8 years. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (2001/1/31) Score: 84
Good winemaking, but a little herbal, with aromas of currant and cut grass. Medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a medium, slightly green finish. Best from 2004 through 2010. 18,330 cases made. –JS
Chateau Tasting:
Lovely, deep colour. Powerful bouquet, featuring red- and black-berry fruit. The initial impression of softness on the palate leads into a tightly-knit structure of fine, powerful tannins. Superbly ripe fruit gives this wine lots of body and flavour.
