Château Loudenne 1998

Dark garnet-ruby, lightening toward the rim. Unclean bouquet, wet wool, hard to approach. On the palate, lots of substance, gently roughening texture, pleasant finish. Challenging evolution? Potential rating.

Powerful bouquet with rubber notes. Slim, sweet palate with sandy tannins. Medium finish. 15/20

Good, but with a slightly fluid style.
