A succulent, full-bodied, silky-textured, super-jammy, rich St.-Emilion, the 1998 Laniote offers copious quantities of black fruits intermingled with high quality oak as well as an attractive, spicy earthiness. This is the finest Laniote yet tasted. Hopefully, it will be bottled without excessive fining and filtration. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2014.
