Critics Ratings

'The 1998 offers more old-world savoury characters and shows more Southern Rhone-like characters. Earthy notes are balance but a sweetly fruited palate with a long and rewarding finish. Holding very well at 22 years.' - Roland Peens 2020, 91/100

'A big and lush expression, the 1998 has aged in a complete, harmonious fashion. Creamy and warming, with apparent red fruit pastille, cured meat and liquorice. Almost liqueur-like in its richness and creamy texture - like a grand Chateauneuf du Pape. Drink now - 2022.' - Higgo Jacobs 2020, 91/100 points

'The medium to dark ruby-colored 1998 Syrah is an outstanding wine. It displays black raspberry and candied black/red cherry aromas. Medium-bodied, fleshy, and lively, this fruit-packed, harmonious, elegant, and velvety-textured wine has an absolutely gorgeous, long, fruit-filled, juicy, and supple finish.' - Pierre Rovani, Robertparker.com, 90/100 (2001)
