8 as well as 13% alcohol

For decades to come

They also pioneered the idea to bottle small lots from almacenistas (small bodegas who produce and age wine that they sell to other bodegas rather than offering bottled to consumers) showing the name of the almacenista and the village where the wine has aged

Quinault L'Enclos - 1998 (750ml) Burgundy 8 as well as 13%An elegant as well as powerful effort, this dense ruby purple colored 1998 reveals notes of plums, black raspberries, vanillin, minerals, licorice, and spice. Exceptionally rich with an outstanding texture, this medium to full bodied wine possesses a distinctive, individualistic style, largely because of its floral, blueberry fruit flavors. Although accessible, it will age for two decades. Anticipated maturity: 2002 2020. Robert Parker 94 points
