Tasting notes
Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 1998 La Gomerie opens with a wonderfully evocative nose of sandalwood, star anise, dusty soil and potpourri over a core of dried mulberries, plum preserves and kirsch with nuances of cast iron pan and camphor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is settling into maturity with bags of elegance and finesse, sporting multilayered spice and dried flowers nuances with a fantastic fruit core—all framed by beautifully plush tannins and seamless freshness—finishing on a lingering aniseed note. It is in such a delicious sweet spot, although it should cellar a further 10-12 years easily.
