ROBERT PARKER ” The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape reveals the vintage’s tell-tale high alcohol, lofty glycerin, and jammy, hedonistic fruit. This dark plum/purple-colored sweet, expansive, medium to full-bodied wine is a hedonistic fruit bomb that is just beginning to develop additional nuances and dimensions. It will be a Chateauneuf du Pape for true sensualists. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. “
