Tasting notes
Dark ruby-colored with a purple edge, this slightly herbaceous, medium-bodied, light-styled 1998 offers attractive aromas and flavors, but it lacks depth and length. Drink it over the next 7-10 years.

Hard to get excited about. Medium-bodied, with berry character, but rather weedy and funky. Not as good as from barrel. 26,000 cases made. – James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
