Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vieilles Vignes--Vintage 1998
Rhône. Domaine de Marcoux
"The profound, dense ruby/purple-colored 1998 reveals tell-tale blackberry liqueur aromas and flavors are present, as well as a formidable level of glycerin, admirable richness, and a soaring bouquet of black fruits, minerals, lavender, and exotic spices. The finish lasts 50+ seconds, and the wines purity and multiple dimensions are staggering. This is a dazzling, full-throttle Chateauneuf du Pape that is unbelievably concentrated, unctuous, well-balanced and silky-textured. There is not a rough edge to be found. Anticipated maturity: now-2020.
Catherine and Sophie Armenier continue to fashion one of Frances greatest wines. There are 750 cases produced from 80 Grenache, 10 Mourvedre, and 10 miscellaneous varietals." Robert Parker, erobertparker only (Jan 2003)
