1998 Chateauneuf du Pape, Clos des Papes

A deep ruby wine with barely over medium noses of dried herb, hay, red berry, licorice and touch of oxidized notes. It is dry with medium acidity and alcohol. The tannins is at barely medium level but soft. Barely over medium flavours of red cherry, licorice, dried herb and touch of meaty. Fairly long length red berry and licorice finish. (90) Maybe due to its storage condition, a bit oxidation noted.

似乎有點開始氧化的感覺。酒的複雜性及酒力是好的，餘韻亦不錯，單寧柔順，如果不是有點氧化(但我相信這可能是個別的倉儲問題)，我相信這酒是有不錯的質素。
