The 1998 Palazzi (1,000 cases) exhibits an exotic, sweet nose of blackberries and spices, an opulently-textured, jammy, ripe style with wonderful sweetness on the attack, copious quantities of glycerin, supple tannin, and a blockbuster, rich finish with tremendous complexity. It should age effortlessly for 10-15 years. The tannin is obscured by the luxurious fruit and high glycerin. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
