- Dark purple in color, a nose of lavender, coffee bean, spicy orange zest with chocolate overtones. The palate is smooth with rich, supple black cherry, plum, chocolate, blackberry and hints of anise. The tannins are smooth and integrated.

- Ruby-red. Wild plum, truffle, tar and a floral nuance on the nose. At once lush and high-pitched, with concentrated but rather tightly wrapped black fruit, coffee and herbal flavors. Not especially fleshy, but not green; has considerable charm for a wine from the '98 vintage. Finishes with big but even tannins that showed a slight dryness with aeration, and very good length. "This was a more European vintage: really cold," noted Ramey, adding that the crop was saved by excellent October weather.
