Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays 1998 is a mature-vintage red Burgundy from the Dating back to 1365, the walled vineyard of Clos des Lambrays is one of most prized vineyard sites in the Morey-Saint-Denis commune of the Côte de Beaune. Domaine des Lambrays was established in 1363 and has enjoyed Grand Crus status for its monopole vineyard since 1981. "Exquisite fruit that, in contrast to certain recent vintages here, positively shouts grand cru caliber fruit. The flavour profile is one of a certain classy, middleweight fighter`s grace and athleticism rather than a heavyweight`s power. There are plenty of ripe, mouth coating tannins lurking beneath the pinot baby fat. Much like the 99 in that it`s not especially big and certainly not highly extracted but it is very persistent on the finish with elegance and class to burn. An unqualified success." Burghound, 2007

Vinous
Good bright red-ruby color. Knockout nose combines cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, underbrush, licorice, flowers and earth. Penetrating and quite fine; offers a three-dimensional texture but is not really showing its underlying fat today. Intriguing note of cinnamon in the mouth. Finishes very long and complex, with dusty tannins and compelling sweetness. This should be superb with eight to ten years of bottle aging.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2001
