Not at apogee. The length on palate was clearly from noble terroir. A transition vintage for the current Jean Louis Trapet around the time he converted to biodynamic viticulture and began dialing back the oak. And I forgot to mention: $30+/btl at Berkeley Bowl on closeout during the early 2000s. You can barely buy Passetoutgrain for $30/btl these days.

Served chilled and opened nicely as it warmed. After it warmed and was allowed to breath, it started to show a much bigger bouquet and the taste was typically balanced and smooth as you would expect from a 98 with a shorter finish than what I would have expected.
