«It was very tricky - 1998»

reports Thomas Bär, a respected Zurich banker who produces a top-notch super Tuscan red at his estate of Antico Podere Gagliole. I scored the 1998 Gagliole at 90 points. «We had to go out 10 times during harvest because of the rain. It was a hot and very, very dry summer; so when it rained, the grapes took up the water very quickly. You had to wait to let the rain diminish a bit out of the grapes and vines.»
