So vibrant and still so well balanced fruit that offers a lot of complexity with a nice mild spicy finish. Very robust and complex with acidty that’s so well balanced considering the high alcohol content that’s there overshadowing the complexity

Did not have high expectations for this wine, but was surprised that it was quite nice and it will last for a few more years but will not improve. A pleasant contrast to many of the modern new age fruit bombs of recent vintages and with only 14% alcohol. Not sure I have ever had a bad bottle imported by Kermit Lynch.

Interesting CdP. Bought this from a local store recently and it did deliver a fairly high level of satisfaction that I would expect from a '98 CdP , especially for the price paid ($35), but it certainly didn't set any records.

Superb. There is no reason to be in a hurry to consume this.

Sweet red fruit and leather, the structure has largely resolved, but it's pretty tasty and wears its age well.
