Served after the Rancia '97, this was very different. It was marked by rich malty English fruit cake flavours which, for me, seemed to carry notes of incipient oxidation. It divided opinion round the table. One other and I myself preferred the greater purity of the Rancia but the two others liked the depth and dark complexity of this one. Good in its way.

Still a good amount of fruit up front. The oak has blended in well and the tannins are as smooth as silk. Very nice wine.
