90 points -- The 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape (80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre) offers a beautifully sweet nose of black raspberries, kirsch, and liquid minerals. It possesses high glycerin, layers of concentration, exquisite purity, and a full-bodied finish. It is a brilliant example of purity, finesse, and power.
