Score 88/100 · Drink 2003-2015, Robert Parker, Apr 2001

A very good effort, this medium-bodied 1998 reveals plenty of toasty new oak along with jammy black cherry and cassis fruit, excellent purity, medium to full body, sweet tannin, and fine overall symmetry. It will be at its prime between 2003-2015.

Not a big wine, but well-crafted and very fine, with beautiful aromas of berry, mineral and mint. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a fresh, fruity aftertaste. Delicious. Best after 2004. 2,165 cases made. -James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
