Note di degustazione
Readers should keep an eye out for the 1998 Terra Rossa First Growth after its release later this year. Its dense purple color is followed by extraordinarily sweet fruit, intense glycerin, and a full-bodied, concentrated mouth-feel. The purity, high extract, and uncanny symmetry is breathtaking. Perhaps the finest Terra Rossa First Growth yet produced, it should drink well for two decades or more. Importer: Appellation Imports LLC, Annapolis Junction, MD; tel. (410) 880-4790

Bright, full ruby. Brooding aromas of cassis, licorice, menthol and cocoa powder, plus a slight greenness. Then youthfully backward on the palate, with red fruit and spice flavors enlivened by firm acids. Shows good extract and a core of subtle sweetness. Finishes with firm tannins and very good but not outstanding length. Still rather dominated by its backbone today, and built to last.
