Score 87/100 · Drink 2001-2011, Robert Parker, Apr 2001
A supple, rich St.-Emilion made by Patrick Valette (of Berliquet), the 1998 Plaisance exhibits aromas and flavors of spicy cherry and new oak. Fleshy, with admirable depth, it should be drunk over the next decade.

Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Bright red-ruby. Expressive aromas of raspberry, plum, black cherry, hot stones and roasted, smoky oak. Plump and chewy, with cherry, smoked nut and dark chocolate flavors. Fat and sweet despite firm underlying acidity. Finishes with lingering notes of leather and meat.
