"Jean-Marie Fourrier’s 1998 Clos St. Jacques is a beautiful and thoughtfully evocative reflection of the vintage, wafting from the glass in a pure and exceptionally elegant bouquet of red and black cherries, gentle notes of grilled meats, mustard seed, a superb base of soil, raw cocoa, sous bois and a touch of nutskin in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and beautifully balanced, with a lovely core, fine-grained tannins (in the context of the 1998 vintage), fine focus and excellent length and grip on the complex and classy finish. An emotionally and intellectually satisfying bottle of Clos St. Jacques. . ."
