"Tiefdunkles, sattes Granat. In der Nase zunächst duftig nach Edelholz, dann nach Früchtetee, Grafit, reifen schwarzen Ribiseln, zarte balsamische Töne runden das Bukett ab. Am Gaumen dicht und satt, spannt sich wie ein breiter Fächer über die Zunge, mit viel Druck im Nachhall, allerdings aktuell noch vom Holz überlappt, kann ruhig noch liegen bleiben."

"Kraftvolles, leuchtendes Rubin mit leichtem Violettschimmer. Satte, dunkle Beerenfrucht, nach Maulbeeren, Brombeeren und Cassis, im Hintergrund nach gebratenen Kastanien. Rund und geschmeidig in Ansatz und Verlauf, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem, präsentem Tannin, baut sich gut auf, klare Frucht, im Finale satter Druck, macht Spaß!"

"Sattes Rubin mit Violettschimmer. Einladende Nase mit satten Noten nach dunklen Johannisbeeren und Heidelbeeren, im Hintergrund ein toller Gewürzmix aus Kardamom, Zimt und Gewürznelken. Straff und dicht in Ansatz und Verlauf, dunkle Beerenfrucht, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, im Finale aber noch recht rau und ungehobelt."

"This full-throttle wine needs some time to settle down, for it is not a soft, supple easy-drinking Merlot. It's a big, richly extracted wine loaded with ripe black cherries, vanilla and toast, joined by a healthy dollop of tannins on the finish. Will be released this fall, but cellar it 5?10 years for it to reach its full potential. Cellar Selection."
yr. 1998 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Marchesi Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Lamaione Toscana IGT" from the vintage 1998 with 92 of 100 points.
"This Merlot is super and it's from central Tuscany, which makes it a literal super Tuscan. It's dense and dark, with brooding notes of cola, damp earth and tobacco. The texture is fine, really fine, and the manner in which the natural flavor has been extracted yet not overblown is masterful. Very luxurious and plush; when you drink this you know it's meant to be the real thing among so-called super Tuscans. ?M.S."
