| Tasting notes |
"94 out of 100...This wine reveals an up-front, forward style, a dense ruby/purple color, and a gorgeous perfume of licorice, seaweed, black cherry liqueur, smoke, and truffles. Full-bodied, thick, and juicy, with a viscous texture, firm concentration, low acidity, and fabulous ripeness, it can be drunk now or cellared for another 15 years." - WA
"94 out of 100...Ruby-red. Red cherry confiture, licorice and spices on the rather reticent nose. Then sweet and voluminous in the mouth, with a velvety texture and great depth of flavor. This will totally satisfy your buds. Finishes extremely long and rich, with ultrafine, thoroughly enrobed tannins." - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"93 out of 100...Juicy and lush, this is filled with spice box, fig paste, currant preserve, bittersweet cocoa and mineral notes. Still has some tannins to shed, but the grippy finish has a nice lingering note of hoisin sauce.--1998 Châteauneuf-du-Pape retrospective. Drink now through 2020. 1,250 cases made." - WS
