Vinous
Very deep ruby. High-toned aromas of black raspberry, toffee, game and animal fur. Less rich in the mouth than the '97 or '98, with the result that there less baby fat to buffer the wine's acidity and oak component. Nicely restrained sweetness. Good but not outstanding length. This was the last year this wine was made entirely in stainless steel fermenters.
