The 1998 La Rosine Syrah's dark plum/ruby color is followed by a big, spicy, peppery, and berry-scented bouquet, notes of meat and animal, abundant fruit, good purity, and a crisp, tangy, slightly tannic finish. It should drink well for 3-4 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
