Roc de Cambes--Vintage 1998
Côte de Bourg
Tasting Note: This wine performed significantly better than it did last year. This sleeper of the vintage merits considerable interest. This is the finest Roc de Cambes produced since their terrific 1990. Proprietor Mitjavile's Côtes de Bourg estate (he is also the proprietor of Le Tertre Roteboeuf) has produced an exotic, flamboyant, explosively rich 1998. It boasts dazzling aromatics of coffee, jammy berry fruit, incense, fudge, and spice. This hedonistic effort reveals no hard edges, a seamless texture, and plenty of juicy, succulent fruit. It is impossible to resist. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 134, April 2001
