So-so to start, muted nose, but after 1/2 hr. open in the glass the palate of red & black berries integrated with cedar and mocha for an enjoyable experience with medium weight and soft tannins and a medium finish. Lots of sediment. A pleasant surprise as I was nervous that I had waited too long.

Smooth, not as much fruit as expected, but still quite good. Pine flavors in the distance. Not much of a bouquet. My personal preference would be to drink this two years earlier, so my two 1998's should be consumed this year.
