Wine Spectator
One of the riper, more exotic wines of the vintage, this gushes with black currant, fig and blackberry fruit, all of which has melded together and is starting to show a corrupt edge, while the sweet bacon, spice, mesquite and clove-studded blood orange notes fill out the background. The long, very juicy finish is multilayered and supported by fresh acidity.--1998 Châteauneuf-du-Pape retrospective. Drink now through 2027.
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, Robert Parker - The Hedonist's Gazette -Dreamlike, indeed. Pégaü's 1998 appears to be a more structured, muscular, and animal wine than the 2000, but the latter offering is drinking better at present. A decade from now that scenario may be reversed, but both are great vintages for Pégaü.
