The 1998 was fermented in new oak and aged two years in barrel prior to bottling. This plump, concentrated effort possesses a saturated deep ruby color as well as an enticing bouquet of brown sugar, black cherries, currants, and licorice. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, and accessible, it should drink well for another two years. This is an excellent value.Importer: Classical Wines from Spain Ltd., Seattle, WA; tel.
