Tasting Notes

Along with the 2000, the 1998 is one of the finest Berliquets I have tasted to date. This dark ruby/purple-colored offering exhibits dense, saturated, flavorful black cherry notes intermixed with licorice, spice box, tobacco, and earth. Full-bodied, ripe, and concentrated, with moderate tannin and a closed but impressively built personality, this wine needs several years to resolve all of its tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2016. Last tasted, 3/02.
