Tasting Notes
A touch of austerity recalls some of the less desirable characteristics of this vintage in the Medoc. The 1998 exhibits firmness along with good, sweet, berry fruit intermixed with mineral, cassis, and spice notes. Medium-bodied and elegant, this effort is best drunk earlier rather than later. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2014. (Wine Advocate #134 Apr 2001)
