Blackberry, cherry, currant and minerals on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a vanilla, berry aftertaste. Balanced and pretty for the vintage. Much better than I remember. - '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. Score: 89 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 January 2009 |

Readers need to pay increasing attention to the efforts of the young Emmanuel Cruse, who has racheted up the level of d'Issan's quality.The dark ruby-colored, elegant, finesse-filled 1998 d'Issan reveals a floral, licorice, herb, and blackberry/currant-scented bouquet. Medium-bodied, with sweet tannin, a soft entry on the palate, fine concentration, a pure finish, and moderate tannin, it will be at its best between 2002-2014. Score: 87 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2002-2014 01 April 2001 |
