"Only 40% of the harvest was included in this wine, which along with Lafite-Rothschild, is one of the finest Medocs of the vintage. It boasts an opaque black/purple color, superb intensity, surprising weight for a 1998 Medoc, and classic, blackberry and cassis flavors interwtwined with vanillin and minerals. Full-bodied, with remarkably mature, sweet tannin, this blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc is an exceptional effort in a tricky Medoc vintage."
