A very creditable 1998 picked as late as November with less hillside fruit than usual. Cooler, leaner style but well made and mouthfilling. Good balance. (JR)
Moderately saturated red-ruby. Aromatic nose of cherry, raspberry, smoke, licorice, chicory and menthol; shows both roasted and green notes. Nicely delineated and bright, but smaller-scaled and lacking real dimension. Somewhat skinny on the finish, with slightly dry tannins and modest sweetness and length. Still, this sample was more consistent than a blend of estate fruit, which showed a hole in the middle.
