Score 88-89/100 · Drink 2006-2012, Pierre Rovani, Feb 2002

(Not yet released) The dark ruby-colored 1998 Cistes has intense blackberry and cassis aromas. Licorice and dark fruits are intermingled in this super-concentrated, massively extracted, rustic wine. It is mouth-coating, palate-staining, and intensely powerful. Projected maturity: 2006-2012. Importer: A Peter Vezan Selection, Paris fax #011-33-1-42-55-42-93

Saturated deep ruby. Less extravagant aromas of blueberry and pepper. Densely packed and aromatic but still rather closed in on itself. Blackberry and violet flavors are given vibrancy by an intense spiciness and a note of black pepper. Conveys a much more tannic impression, or perhaps it just doesn't have the fat of the Syrah Leone.
