Lovely selection

Enthusiastic!

1998 Château Angélus;
Ruby, ripe, rich, served a bit cold. Good acidity, ripe tannins, not an optimal bottle, lacks a bit, have had better with result in hand. 89


1998 Château de Valandraud;
Ruby, fresh, plums, blackberries, even if on the ripe side, vanilla, fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant with answer in hand. 91-92


1998 Château La Mondotte;
Ruby, intense, ripe, plums. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, balanced, feels lively in the finish, good length more than complex. 92


1998 Château Tertre Roteboeuf;
Ruby, brick rim. Intense and ripe, sweet anise. Medium acidity, ripe tannins, feels ripe throughout, rich feel, good length. 90
