Score 93/100 · Drink 2002-2008, Pierre Rovani, Aug 1998

This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine exhibits scents of cassis bathed in mocha and chocolate. Its full-bodied, velvety-textured, and bright character is awash in blueberries dusted with confectioners sugar, fresh herbs, candied red cherries, stones, and a myriad of oaky spices. This gem also possesses a long, supple, and soft finish. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2008. Importers: Martine's Wines, Inc., San Rafael, CA; tel (415) 485-1800, and Paterno Imports, Chicago, IL; tel (847) 604-8900.

Score 88-90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

More expressive aromas of smoke, game and roasted nuts. Sappier in the mouth, with lovely spicy fruit and a restrained sweetness. Has a rather powerful structure but good buffering extract prevents the wine from coming across as hard. Firm and very persistent on the finish.
