Niellon, who typically does very little settling of the juice following the alcoholic fermentation and does not correct the acidity, describes 1998 as "easy to drink, very much like '97, and not at all like '96." The sugars in '98 were a bit higher than those of the previous year, notes Niellon. When I told Niellon that some of his colleagues compared 1997 to 1992, he replied that the '92s were fatter and richer than the '97s.
