Light ruby colour. Just a little ageing on the rim, fairly mature looking for a 1998. An attractive if not complex wild strawberry scented nose. Touch of cranberry but lacking a little intensity and lift. The palate is medium-bodied, for me lacking harmony. Sharp acidity, low grip. Wild strawberry, touch of raspberry. Sharp finish. Pleasant, but lacking breeding. Reviewed by: Neal Martin

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.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2018 in Burgundy was hot and dry with a large crop, producing ripe, rich and powerful reds of generous fruit; the whites are full-bodied but require care, as some show lower acidity.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
