I found this to be very much like the 750 ml with a gorgeous nose but seriously structured and wine for the very long term. The review from fifth is: This is still completely primary with a spicy and elegant red and black fruit nose followed by intense medium full flavors that possess a lovely core of complexity and superior length. Not as structured as the rest of the DRC '98s but there is enough material here to warrant 8 to 12 years of aging as the finish doesn't quite have the buffering material of the best in the range.
