Here too there are residual sulfur notes that are only background nuances to the otherwise very fresh and dense green fruit and stone aromas that introduce intensely mineral-driven, firm, rich and enveloping flavors that display a taut muscularity on the strikingly powerful, focused and bone dry finish that is really quite explosive. Like the Montrachet, this should reward at least a decade of long-term cellaring. A brilliant example of the appellation. - comments: Don't miss!

Wine Advocate August, 2000 Well balanced is the 1998 Nardo. It exhibits a deep, saturated ruby/purple color in addition to gorgeously jammy blackberry and cassis flavors infused with smoke, minerals, licorice, and toast. There is terrific intensity as well as a long, medium to full-bodied finish with well-integrated acidity, tannin, and wood. It should drink well for 10-15 years. ()
