  2/9/2019 - Eric Guido Likes this wine: 91 Points

  Unfortunately, the ‘98 was one of my least favorite wines of the tasting, showing many of the same tired notes that seem to be plaguing many wines from this vintage. The nose was dark and earthy, showing moist soil tones, wet sand, and crushed seashells, before giving way to a mix of crushed plum, blackberry and a hint of animal musk. On the palate, I found soft textures, displaying fleshy ripe cherry and strawberry, giving way to a mix of elevated acids and minerals. The finish was long, as drying tannin mounted against a mix of acid and grippy tart cherry.
