Score 87-89/100 · Drink 2002-2016, Robert Parker, Apr 1999

Dark purple-colored, with a deep, intense, extracted feel, the 1998 is a moderately closed, yet promising, medium to full-bodied wine with excellent richness, and earthy, licorice, and black cherry/cranberry-like fruit flavors. There is plenty of glycerin, moderately high tannin, and a mouth-filling personality to this large-scaled effort from one of Pomerol's perennial underachievers. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.
