The exceptional 1998 Special Reserve, a 450-case blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses soaring aromatics consisting of spice box, cedar, licorice, black currants, and minerals. In the mouth, the wine is rich, with floral notes intermingled with chocolate, black currant, and sweet, foresty flavors. It possesses an attractive texture, medium to full body, and sweet but noticeable tannin in the finish. This wine will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for 15-18 years.Tel.
