Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #134(2001-4) Rating: 91 points Drink:2005 - 2025
A supremely elegant, dense purple-colored effort, the 1998 reveals aromas of cassis, black raspberries, minerals, and currants. Precise, well-delineated, and medium to full-bodied, with magnificent purity and understated elegance, this noble, restrained wine reveals a tannic finish, suggesting 4-5 more years of cellaring is warranted. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (1/31/2001) Score: 88
Aromas of berry, tobacco and cherry. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a silk-textured finish. Delicate structure. An elegant Ducru. Best after 2006. 16,665 cases made. –JS
