90 points Wine Spectator: "Lots of mineral, blackberry and wet earth character on the nose. Full-bodied, lightly sweet, with a solid backbone of polished tannins. Long finish. A well done 1998. Port of the vintage. Best after 2008. (2/28/01)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "A powerful, solid wine, packed with luscious fruit. The perfumes and the ripeness of the fruit are currently covered with a firm tannin layer, but this should develop well as a medium-term wine. Alcohol 20.5%. (Feb 2001)"
Producer notes: "Lovely aromatic perfumed quality. A cherry and blackcurrant jam nose overlaid with violets. Undertone of molasses and woodsmoke. Firm Vargellas with chocolate covered cherry and blackcurrant centre. Soft lingering finish, with youthful fresh notes."
