Fruits rouges mures, zeste d'orange, terre humide, un Cabernet-Sauvignon mature et agréable. Pour le prix d'achat, il a merveilleusement bien vieilli. à boire maintenant, tranquillement sur la pente descendante mais un plaisir en ce moment.

Shy nose coming around to show typically dusty, spicy dark Grenache fruit with nice minerals. Dry herb, dark fruit palate without the usual intensity; nice enough but definitely slipping past prime. Drinking well but broad and lacking the zip to make this a real interest, not surprising for a weaker vintage as the 1998 is drinking very well.

Deep ruby, this had a nose of cooked meat and fresh berries (as curious as that may sound), and the palate was wonderfully focused and balanced with dark fruits and good acidity. Holding on strong and showing no signs of fading whatsoever.

Great but past it's prime, even in a magnum.
