Tasting Notes

JH93

Medium to full red, with some purple tinges; a rich, quite sweet bouquet with a complex amalgam of fruit and positive oak. The palate is rich, at the top end of the oak town, but with lots of sweet, concentrated berry fruit to justify the oak.

WA95–97

Readers should keep an eye out for the 1998 Terra Rossa First Growth after its release later this year. Its dense purple color is followed by extraordinarily sweet fruit, intense glycerin, and a full-bodied, concentrated mouth-feel. The purity, high extract, and uncanny symmetry is breathtaking. Perhaps the finest Terra Rossa First Growth yet produced, it should drink well for two decades or more Range: 95-97 Points
