The 1998 Fleurie Chateau de Grand Pre is ruby-colored and reveals a chocolate-covered cherry-scented nose. This wine's black cherry and blueberry-flavored core would have merited a higher score, had it not been somewhat hard and tannic in the finish. It is not a flawed wine, far from it, yet it is neither complex nor opulent. Drink it over the next 3 years.
