Score 14.5/20 · Drink 2006-2010, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2007

Crimson with some shading. Really light but fully evolved nose. Slightly burnt character and then something awkward, tart and slightly charred. I can’t see how this will ever be perfectly balanced. (JR)

A sleek and racy Médoc for 1998. Black fruit with a hint of spice. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Needs a bit of time to unfold. Best after 2002. 15,830 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
