Wine Description

This deep plum/garnet-colored wine offers intense berry fruit along with forest floor, spice box, earth and loads of plum, cherry and strawberry notes, moving toward darker fruits, as well as earthy, autumnal, foresty scents.

    dark fruits, hawthorn flakes on the palate, quite subtle despite the alcohol of 14.9%, hint of black tea leaves, like the bouquet but the palate does not dance

    Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 102, May/June 2002 Full red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant, plum, raspberry, mocha and nuts, plus a suggestion of oatmeal. Dense and concentrated, with considerably more primary fruit character and freshness than the other two '98 Marcassin pinots. Finishes very long and ripely tannic.
