  The final bottle from a case bought at release. Cork completely crumbled at opening. For the tough '98 vintage, this wine was a much better than average bottling. Tart cherry with vibrant acidity at this stage - keeping it bright and lively. Mostly red fruits, tart and puckering.

  I was somewhat apprehensive at opening, in view of the bottle age. Cocoa, dark berries, some lingering oak in the background. Delicious.
