The 1998 Irvine Grand Merlot earned 90 points from James Halliday (Halliday Wine Companion), who admired how the fruit really flowers on the palate, and 90 points from Robert M. Parker, Jr. (Wine Advocate), who described it as flamboyant, exotic and super-impressive. An unabashedly rich, New World Merlot from one of the Barossa's great vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFlamboyant, exotic, and kinky, with copious quantities of super-rich black cherry fruit infused with toasty new oak, and loads of lavishly rich coffee, espresso, and chocolatey notes... this is an in-your-face, New World Merlot. - Robert M.
