The 1998 Syrah Case Via (100% Syrah aged one year in French oak) exhibits a classic bacon fat, blackberry, creme de cassis character, full-bodied, smoky flavors, rustic tannin, and gorgeous levels of fruit, extract, and ripeness. The only flaw in this impressive, somewhat internationally-styled offering is the slightly elevated tannin.
Stunning. The La Turque of Tuscany. Amazing aromas of game, earth and crushed black pepper. Full-bodied, with superintense flavors of ripe fruit, meat and chocolate and big, velvety tannins. Long, long finish.
