Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Decadent aromas here with meat ripe fruit and spices. Full-bodied with round soft tannins and lots of spicy earthy and leafy flavors. Long and rich. Give it a little more bottle age. This has always been excellent.?'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Best after 2010. 9165 cases made.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
A beautiful wine of symmetry finesse and elegance this deep ruby/purple-colored offering reveals classic aromas of black currants new wood and scorched earth. This pure medium-bodied restrained measured graceful 1998 offers impressive overall symmetry as well as well-integrated tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018.
