91 points Robert Parker: "The opaque ruby/purple-colored 1998 Cote Rotie is full-bodied, with copious quantities of blackberry and raspberry fruit intertwined with mineral and scorched earth notes. Deep, rich, and moderately tannic with great purity of fruit, the wine cuts a broad, substantial swath across the palate. (2/27/01)"
91 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Knockout sappy, wild aromas combine crystallized blackberry, blood pudding, bitter chocolate, mace, nutmeg and game. Penetrating, firm and bright, but quite densely packed and chewy. Burgaud told me he racks his strongest vintages as much as seven or eight times, but this '98 has fruit of steel. Sauvage flavors of blackberry, spice, pepper and raw meat. Finishes chewy, long and very persistent. (Jan 2001)"
