"(1998) A classic nose of cherries, tobacco and earth leads to a fairly firm mouthful of bright cherry fruit. There is a certain smokiness and good, chewy tannins making for a supple and savoury wine. No great complexity, but good with food."

89 of 100 Points.

"Minty in the nose, with deep aromatics. As a whole, the bouquet is assuring. Wild blackberry and dark plum fruit create a tasty palate, while the finish is more subtle. It's a bit tannic and starching, and probably too heavy and forceful to drink today. Some time will soften it up. --M.S."
