"The 1998 Grands Epenots was served right after the stunning 1999 Rugiens (which I have not included a note for here, as I just wrote up the wine in February of this year), and the wine had no difficulty following in the wake of the monumental Rugiens. The bouquet is deep and outstanding, as it offers up a great mĂ©lange of red and black cherries, sous bois, woodsmoke, a touch of red currant, deep soil tones and orange rind in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep and full-bodied, with a fine core of fruit, lovely soil signature, excellent grip and still a fair bit of tannin to resolve on the long and classy finish. The 1998 Grands Epenots is just beginning to blossom, but it will still demand another four or five years to really start drinking well. A superb â98."
