  Weinwisser
  "Tiefes Granat mit lila Reflexen. Feinduftendes mit Veilchen durchzogenes Bouquet, schöne Fülle, Waldbodensüsse, Brombeergelee. Im Gaumen sehr saftig, weiche Textur, wieder herrlich fruchtige Brombeernote, noch leicht aufrauhend, sehr guter Rückhalt."

  The Wine Advocate
  "This has become one of the finest second wines produced. The 1998 (a blend of 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 4.5% Cabernet Franc, and 1.5% Petit Verdot) is an outstanding effort. While very Lafite-like (although more supple and forward), it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color in addition to an excellent bouquet of black fruits, smoke, earth, and minerals, supple tannin, an excellent texture, and a long, fine finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2015."
