Good core of fruit, in what was a difficult vintage. Medium-bodied, with spice and chocolate character and a medium finish. Some berries too. Little hollow. The tannins have mellowed. - '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 12,080 cases made. Score: 88 James Suckling, Wine Spectator 01 January 2009 |

A dense purple color is accompanied by a tannic, smoky, concentrated, earthy wine with abundant blackberry and cassis fruit, underbrush, minerals, and a steely character, and a powerful, tannic finish. Score: 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2003-2016 01 April 2001 |
