91 RP "This sleeper of the vintage merits considerable interest." 91 RP This wine performed significantly better than it did last year. This sleeper of the vintage merits considerable interest...This is the finest Roc de Cambes produced since their terrific 1990. Proprietor Mitjavile's Cotes de Bourg estate (he is also the proprietor of Le Tertre Roteboeuf) has produced an exotic, flamboyant, explosively rich 1998. It boasts dazzling aromatics of coffee, jammy berry fruit, incense, fudge, and spice. This hedonistic effort reveals no hard edges, a seamless texture, and plenty of juicy, succulent fruit.

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
