Notes:
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 02
Deep red. Very deep nose shows an almost roasted ripeness; notes of dark fruits, chocolate and earth. The thickest and most voluminous of these '99s, but currently showing less detail than the Volnays. Superripe and creamy, with deep, intensely spicy red and black fruit flavors and perfectly integrated acidity. Explosively long, palate-staining finish offers terrific verve and grip. 93 points
Tasting note: Wonderfully complex aromas of ripe black fruit, crushed herbs and berries with an unmistakable earthy character. Medium bodied yet powerful, concentrated though not overtly tannic with plenty of underlying material and buckets of sappy extract. Despite all the extract, this finishes with a distinct note of austerity. Undeniably of grand cru quality and regal in its subtle intensity and fine, sneaky length. Simply fabulous Rugiens.
