Score 89-91/100 · Drink 2014, Robert Parker, Oct 1999

This is a fine wine. The 1998 exhibits an attractively saturated dark ruby/purple color, in addition to a vibrant cherry/blackberry fruit-scented bouquet with undertones of seaweed, salty ocean breezes, and freshly crushed pepper. Pure and uncommonly elegant for the vintage, this is a nicely layered, medium to full-bodied, creamy-textured effort. Its low acidity and gorgeously pure black fruit character suggests it should drink well young, yet keep for 14-15 years. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel.
