Score 91/100 · Drink 2003-2008, Pierre Rovani, Aug 1998
This dark-colored wine has a brooding, backward nose of black berries and roasted spices. On the palate, this masculine, extracted, full-bodied, dense, and thickly-textured wine reveals dark fruits, toasted oak, and herbal flavors. Its extremely long and oak dominated finish displays considerable tannin. If the fruit outlives the tannin and oak this wine may ultimately merit a higher rating. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2008. Importer: Clicquot, Inc., New York, NY; tel (212) 888-7575.
