Rating: 92/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 96, May/June 2001 Saturated ruby-purple color. Very sexy aromas of crystallized dark berries, espresso and bitter chocolate. Huge, thick and mouthfilling, with compelling sweetness and spicy character. Boasts great depth of flavor and ripe acids for the vintage. But chewy, ripe tannins hit the palate very late. A remarkable '98.
