Côte-Rôtie Les Jumelles--Vintage 1996 F.B.

Cornas Domaine Saint Pierre--Vintage 1998 D.B.
Paul Jaboulet Aîné (6)
The 1998 Cornas Domaine Saint Pierre is extraordinary. From vineyards planted high on the Cornas hillsides, this saturated black/purple coloured blockbuster offers an exceptional combination of licorice, incense, blackberries, and truffles in its stunning aromatics. Huge, phenomenally concentrated, massively tannic, and almost rustic and uncivilised, the pure fruit and layered concentation are something to behold. It should be purchased only by readers willing to invest 5-6 years of patience- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 10-30-99
