This red has mineral, currant and mint aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with polished tannins and a fruity, succulent finish. An early drinking Las Case, yet a very good red for the vintage. Can age but why wait. Score: 88 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 January 2001 |

Medium ruby-red. Plum, game, nuts and saddle leather on the nose. Nicely textured, smooth and vinous, with enticing plum and smoke flavors; if the '98 is like Pauillac, this is quintessential St. Julien. Finishes with ripe tannins and good length. Score: 87 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 01 May 2000 |

Already evolved and tasting relatively mature, this dark ruby/purple-colored wine offers an excellent berry-scented nose intermixed with dried herbs, earth, and sweet oak. It possesses medium body, low acidity, excellent concentration, and a nicely layered and nuanced finish. Score: 86 - 87 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2000-2012 30 April 1999 |
