  Wine Spectator
  Blackberry, cherry, currant and minerals on the nose. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a vanilla, berry aftertaste. Balanced and pretty for the vintage. Much better than I remember. -- '88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 10,000 cases made."

  Weinwisser
  Leuchtendes Granat, feiner Rand aussen. Kräftiges, grün wirkendes Bouquet, Nussschalen, Tabak, fast grasige Töne. Drahtiger, muskulöser Gaumen, metallische Konturen, an sich enorm viel Kraft zeigend, wenig Harmonie."

  The Wine Advocate
  Readers need to pay increasing attention to the efforts of the young Emmanuel Cruse, who has racheted up the level of d'Issan's quality.The dark ruby-colored, elegant, finesse-filled 1998 d'Issan reveals a floral, licorice, herb, and blackberry/currant-scented bouquet. Medium-bodied, with sweet tannin, a soft entry on the palate, fine concentration, a pure finish, and moderate tannin, it will be at its best between 2002-2014."
