Roger Sabon Reservee Chateauneuf du Pape '98

This '98 Sabon is an absolute beauty & typifies what potential glories lie w/in moderately aged, mature Chateauneuf. The aromas have taken on tertiary, complex naunces of sou bois, pine resin, date bread, savory plum, mesquite & cinammon spice notes. The texture is fine, as the tannins have melted away into the belly of the palate. The acidity propels a dusty sensation, fleshing out the hearty, dried herb flavors in the mouth to a long, dry finish, 91 points.
