The 1998 exhibits flamboyant, obvious new oak, but unlike other years, there is more concentration, power, and depth behind the vanillin/pain grille notes. Full-bodied, dense, and chewy, with copious peppery, herb-tinged, red currant, black currant, and blackberry fruit, this is a lush, generously-endowed offering with a lightly tannic finish.
Lots of ripe fruit here, with a leafy, tobacco, meat and coffee undertone. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a sweet, lightly jammy aftertaste. Polished tannins.
