Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Deeper dark red than the '97. More closed but more important aromas of smoke, underbrush and marzipan. Denser and fuller in the mouth; less fruity than the '97 normale but sweeter, deeper, more complex, with strong but integrated acidity. Hints of black cherry, menthol and tobacco. At once chewy and smooth. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and a bit more length than the '96.
