Delas Saint Esprit Côtes du Rhône 1998

Côtes du Rhône, Rhone Valley, FranceMostly syrah 80 percent and 20 percent grenache. Raw fruity red with peppery overtones and soft dark berry strawberry fruit with just a hint of violent. Some spice and great finesse for a simple wine from a good year. Only 30 percent of the wine sees one-year-old oak ageing. Bright citrus streak lifts the finish and prepares it for light meat dishes.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
