Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine Pegau, Cuvée Laurence--Vintage 1998
Rhône, Domaine-bottled: Feraud
In original cartons
Tasting Note: The 1998 Cháteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Laurence, the finest example of this offering I have yet tasted (even better than the 1989, 1990, and 1995), spent four years in small barrels prior to being bottled unfiltered. A spectacular effort, it is a monument to great Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A dense plum/purple color is followed by aromas of sweet black fruits intermixed with tobacco, cedar, pepper, and fruitcake. Powerful, rich, and concentrated, with a finish that lasts for nearly a minute, this wine is performing far better than when I tasted it a year ago. It is a legendary Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 145 (Feb 2003).
