Very nice wine that shows again, that 1998 is a right-bank vintage. Dark fruits, cigar box, coffee on nose and palate. Nice tannin structure, good length. Good QPR. Drink or hold! 92+ pts

A bit muted but enjoyable! Still a fair bit of freshness. Agree with prior reviewers that it is straightforward, not overly complex, but nice. Drink now

Still some nice fruit left. Great balance and that 13% alcohol elegance that might be lost for ever. Drink now.

Nice old Bordeaux nose. Holding up nicely from magnum. Good, herbal tinged fruit with some tobacco & leather.

Great classic mature Bordeaux. Mixes a core of fruit with notes of maturity. Great balance. Drink now.
