Chateau Roc des Cambes 1998

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (91)

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. It is impossible to resist.
