Country: France / Marquise de la Tourette
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Delas Frères / Hermitage
A concentrated wine, although with some of the delicacy of the 1998 vintage, showing structure, tannins and ripeness. The finish is full of chocolate and sweet coffee flavors. The acidity gives a sense of elegance and lightness which suggests this will develop relatively fast.
