Anyone who says the 1998 vintage is a step down from 1997 hasn’t tasted this excellent wine. The nose is rich and simultaneously complex: soy, marzipan, leather and poached cherries are all there. The palate is quite a treat: There’s snappy, acid-driven fruit as well as hints of orange peel, brown sugar and coffee.
