An outstanding effort from this rejuvenated winery, the wine reveals a black/purple color in addition to a concentrated, powerful, muscular format, and is meant to withstand 15+ years of cellaring. The 1998 exhibits noticeable tannin. It will not begin strutting its stuff for 5-6 years, but should last for two decades. Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 286-2000.
