Tightly-knit, with hints of green beans, melons, figs, and minerals, the 1998 is showing better from bottle than it did early in life. Medium-bodied, with the fig, melon, bell pepper, and grapefruit notes abundantly displayed in the flavors, it reveals a surprisingly long, refreshing finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020. Last tasted, 3/02.
