Two sips isn't enough to give a detailed impression, I don't think it's past it prime but is more then likely on the down side of that scale! I know the 98 was not a strong year for Dominus, however from what I had it seemed one dimensional. Unlike other years! 89 -90 everyone did enjoy it after a 45 min decant.

Cellared perfectly, opened at 45 deg, worried it may be past it's prime from what I've read here- <not unfounded> My tasting from two sips, Citrus & peach w/ hint of lemon and a floral note.
<edit> 4/30/12 After some time to recall previous tastings, these bottles while kept pristine are on a downhill side! Accordingly I'm changing my rating. Must consume the remaining three with in the next month. <edit>
