Taber Riserva 1998

Seasonal conditions: average temperatures, around 12°C; a particularly mild winter, a spring that was not very warm with little rain while the summer was very wet.

A red-garnet color with a decidedly orange edge. The aroma is mature, centered on spice and ethereal notes with those of red fruit both as jam and under spirits followed by sensations of roasted coffee and blond tobacco, humus and graphite on a background of dried meat. The mouthfeel shows its age a bit and above all reflects a year that at the time was probably less interesting to bring out the structure of Lagrein, even if it maintains a vibrant freshness and tannins that are still perceivable in the finish.
