Chateau Kirwan 1998

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (90)

This once moribund estate has totally reversed itself. A sleeper of the vintage, the opaque purple-colored 1998 boasts a smoky, licorice, cassis, and mineral-scented bouquet. Full-bodied, powerful, yet elegant, it successfully balances complexity with an unbridled richness and power. Very impressive, particularly in view of its exceptional concentration, it will handsomely repay cellaring of two decades or more.

Winespectator (89)

Extremely well-crafted, with interesting aromas of berry and black olive. Medium- to full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a medium finish.
