Details
Château Rol Valentin--Vintage 1998
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé
Tasting note: Another quasi-garage wine made from 10.6 acres of vines planted with 85 Merlot, 10 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5 Cabernet Franc, this wine enjoys malolactic fermentation in barrel, aging on its lees, and while unfined, does receive a light filtration.
A superb effort, the dark ruby/purple-coloured 1998 offers gorgeous aromas of flowers, blackberries, cherries, smoke, liquorice, and spice box. It is deep, succulent, medium to full-bodied, with decent acidity, superb purity, and a creamy texture. Tannin is present, but it is well-integrated and balanced by the wine's depth. Anticipated maturity: now-2014. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate Issue #134. April 2001
