Score 17/20 · Drink 2004-2012, Jancis Robinson MW, Jul 2004

Much more intense and vibrant than the 1999 Finca Dofi. Extremely lively with bright fruit and lots of phenolics on the finish. Masses of layers. Very exciting. (JR)

From his estate-bottled production, the terrific 1998 Finca Dofi boasts an opaque ruby/purple color in addition to a gorgeous bouquet of minerals, black fruits, and vanillin. It offers a full-bodied, concentrated, intense style with great purity, symmetry, and length. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484

Score 92.5/100 · Drink 0-0, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Bright deep ruby. Extravagantly spicy aromas of black raspberry, cassis, clove, licorice and new oak. Bright and sharply focused, with lively acidity giving the flavors terrific clarity and cut. Still shows a primary grapey quality. Juicy and stylish. Finishes with terrific grip and persistence. Very strong potential.
