The 1998 La Gaffelière has reached its full maturity. The nose reveals elements of truffle, thyme, herbs, and smoke that enhance the experience of fresh, sweet cherries. While the palate is not very lengthy, the aromatic complexity on the nose adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the wine.

Vinous
Medium red. Cherry, licorice, mint and a whiff of raw oak on the nose. Juicy and fairly intensely flavored, but with somewhat green flavors. Finishes with rather dry tannins. My sample of the 2000 was tart and underripe; it hard to believe that the sample was representative. The '99 was also green, and the tannins were astringent.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2001
