The 1998 Tempranillo/Merlot performed well, exhibiting a medium ruby color, fleshy as well as sweet berry fruit intermixed with spice and dried herbs. Round, richly fruity, dry, and pure, this fruit-driven red should be consumed over the next year. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
