Tasting Notes
Vinous 84-87
Medium ruby. Perfumed, slightly port-like aromas of kirsch, cassis, licorice, mint and damp earth. Good intensity and firm structure, but the tannins seem a bit gritty and harsh. Will require a second look next spring.
Wine Advocate 88
A sleeper of the vintage, the 1998 Canon-de-Brem exhibits aromas of minerals, scorched earth, black cherries, and raspberries. This dense, concentrated, classic effort possesses firm tannin as well as excellent potential for longevity. Pure and balanced, it is reminiscent of a top-class St.-Emilion. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2015.
