Score 91/100 · Drink 2003-2012, Pierre Rovani, Feb 2001
The saturated, medium to dark ruby-colored 1998 Merlot Klipsun has overripe dark berry and cherry aromas. On the palate, it offers concentrated, powerful layers of beautifully ripened red and black fruits. Velvety-textured and deep, it is muscular, highly concentrated, and well-extracted. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2012. Tel. (206) 463-3290.

Score 88+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
Medium ruby-red. Spiced plum, licorice and flowers on the nose. Plum, mineral and pepper flavors offer very good intensity but are currently a bit clenched. Conveys an almost salty impression of extract. Finishes with the characteristic tongue-clenching Klipsun tannins.
