Dark, brooding nose of wet forest floor, incense, burnt orange peel, mushroom and black cherry The palate has tremendous acidity and the tannins are quite rustic. Quite masculine and earth and dark fruit dominate here. This wine will continue to evolve , just wish I had another bottle to see it....

Much better showing than the last bottle. Black cherries and minerals via coravin, two days later, juicier and redder with a little ball of sous bois and tannin at the end.

Floral nose, fine vibrancy but the palate is not intense. Slow to open but it does with time in the glass, rounding out well for a 1998 - but this is unlikely to shine.

A little disappointing. Dark and earthy, not particularly long or powerful.
