Tasting Notes
"What one notices first is the conjunction of concentrated black-cherry
Merlot fruit and a texture somewhere between satin and velvet. What one
notices last is the broad finish that lingers. The 1998 Vérité can be enjoyed
now or cellared for even greater drinking pleasure." - Pierre Seillan, Vigneron
Acclaim
92 points, The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker, Jr., December 2000
It is a blockbuster Merlot, and certainly a formidable achievement for 1998. The wine shows a dense black/purple color, an enormous nose of espresso roast, melted chocolate, blackberries, cherries and sweet truffle/earthy notes. Very full-bodied, astonishingly concentrated, extremely pure, and well-balanced, this is a blockbuster effort that can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20 years."
