    Rating: 88/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 91, July/August 2000 More saturated ruby. Rather similar in aromas (blackcurrant and oak spices) but a bit weightier and fuller on the nose. More concentrated than the 1996, with attractive oak notes to complement the cassis. Still, this doesn't show the depth or complexity one might expect from an outstanding vintage. Finishes with a slight bitterness. (Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY)

    Tasted by Opusone99 on 9/8/2011 & rated 95 points: Robe rubis foncé légèrement évoluée. Le nez est très ouvert sur les petits fruits rouges, notes de cuir, boîte à tabac et sur les épices fins. En bouche, le vin est d'un équilibre sans faille, bien droit et très expressif. Le vin est assez dense, les saveurs persistent et la finale est grandiose. Également, les tannins ne sont pas encore totalement fondus et j'aurais aucune crainte à garder ce bijoux encore plusieurs années si j'avais la chance d'en avoir une bouteille en cave. Vin immense!
