An elegant as well as powerful effort, this dense ruby/purple-colored 1998 reveals notes of plums, black raspberries, vanillin, minerals, licorice, and spice. Exceptionally rich with an outstanding texture, this medium to full-bodied wine possesses a distinctive, individualistic style, largely because of its floral, blueberry fruit flavors. Although accessible, it will age for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020.

Very perfumed and floral, slightly earthy, but rich and fruity. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Slightly funky, but juicy. Fading a little.—'88/'98 Bordeaux retrospective (2008). Drink now. 2,500 cases made. –JS

Good ruby-red. Youthful but complex aromas of black cherry, iron, tar, game, espresso and chicory. Lush, deep and oaky, with good finesse and sound structure. Finishes with noteworthy length and substantial but ripe tannins. 88-90 points
