Mid garnet. Rather closed nose. Definite acetaldehyde character here. Faded fruit. Structure is still there, but it's aromatically hollow. (RH)

Seemingly close to maturity, this dark plum/ruby-colored 1998 offers up sweet aromas of damp earth, compost, pepper, and black currant fruit. The wood component is kept well in the background in this distinctively earthy, ripe, fleshy, full-bodied Shiraz. Consume it over the next decade. Importer: Pacific Wine Partners, Gonzales, CA; tel.
