Tasting notes
The spectacular 1998 Giusto dei Notri is a 60% Cabernet Sauvignon/40% Merlot blend aged in French oak, of which 50% was new, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. A dense, murky ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of melted Valrhona chocolate, blackberries, smoke, and toast. Rich and full-bodied, with superb concentration, a seamless texture, low acidity, and a 40+ second finish, this huge, full-bodied wine should drink well for a decade.
