Score 16/20 · Drink 2007-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Mar 2006

Very dark and concentrated. Herbal, interesting but not complete. Astringent finish. But at least this has the energy to develop further. Very extracted? (JR)

Score 91/100 · Drink 2001-2016, Robert Parker, Apr 2001

The dense purple-colored 1998 boasts a beautifully rich, complex perfume of blackberries, plums, lead pencil, cherries, mocha, and caramel. Powerful and rich, with a multilayered texture, and an opulent, viscous finish revealing enough sweet tannin for definition, this is a terrific, full-bodied, seamless effort from one of the world's greatest winemakers. Anticipated maturity: now-2016.
