A spectacular effort, the 1998 exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous bouquet of overripe black cherries intermixed with blackberries, blueberries, licorice, and smoky oak. Full-bodied, low in acidity, opulent, fleshy, and undeniably disarming, it offers layers of fruit in addition to sweet tannin in the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.- Robert Parker Jr. (04/2001)
A bit one-dimensional but the fruit concentration is very good, with velvety tannins and a rather short fnish. (1999)
Deep ruby. Primary aromas of blackberry liqueur, griotte cherry, bitter chocolate and minerals. Sweet, fat and dense, with excellent clarity of flavor thanks to bright acids. At once fruit-driven and powerful, with hints of exotic wood spices. Finishes very long and pure, with firm but thoroughly ripe tannins coating the entire palate.- Stephen Tanzer (05/2000)
