97 DE / 96 WE / 96 WA / 95 JD / 95 WS / 93 VM / 18 JR Comfortably still in its mature window, with old leather, blackberry jam and some whiffs of hung game. Enjoyably chewy tannins still, this is still powerful, with good...
100 RP / 100 WA / 100 JS / 100 DE / 100 JD / 99 WCI / 98 WS / 19 JR Our special guest for the night was administrator Pierre Lurton, and one of his favorite vintages under his impeccable guidance at Cheval Blanc is the...
94 WA / 93 JDMedium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 1998 Clos de Sarpe gives a beautiful perfume of Chinese five spice, sandalwood and preserved plums with notions of dried mulberries, potpourri, black truffles, cast iron...
95 WA / 95 WI / 95 VM / 93 WCI / 18 JR The 1998 Yquem is a great success. Made in an elegant style, it is not a blockbuster such as 1990, 1989, and 1988. It is well-delineated, with wonderfully sweet aromas of creme brulee,...
98 VM / 98 JA / 97 WS / 96 WA / 96 WCI / 18.5 JR This is the most sublime example of the 1998 l’Eglise-Clinet of many that I have tasted. The 1998 is a Pomerol that, after 23-years, has reached its zenith. It has a...
95 JS / 91 WCI / 90 RP This is a phenomenal bottle with licorice, violet and berries on nose. Full body with soft and velvety tannins and a velvety finish. This is perfect now. A fabulous wine. Shame this isn't made anymore...

98 RP / 96 VM / 95 DE / 18 JR A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, this wine represents only 34% of Lafite's total harvest. In a less than perfect Medoc vintage, it has been spectacular since birth, putting on...

100 JS / 100 DE / 100 WA / 98-100 FS / 99 VM / 99 WS / 99 WCI / 98 RP / 19.5 JR Stunning. So deep and characterful yet refined and subtle. It shows aromas of wet earth, mushrooms and dark fruits. Dry black olives come out...
96 WI The 1998 Troplong Mondot is deep garnet-brick in color. It bursts with bold notions of stewed black plums, fruitcake, and dried cherries, opening out to reveal underlying notes of licorice, menthol, mocha, and...
100 JD / 99 WA / 98 WCI / 97 VM / 97 DE / 97 WS / 18.5 JR Just pure gold in Pomerol, the 1998 offers a still youthful color as well as a heavenly nose of ripe red, black, and blue fruits intermixed with notes of flowers,...
