This 1998 vintage wine from France has a high-quality dark garnet color, with ripened black fruits emanating to the nose together with aromas of cedars, roses, black peppers, lavender, and herbs from the mountains of Provence. It tastes full, a little peppery, and lush on the mouth, with firm acidity and soft tannins.
This wine goes best with grilled rib-eye steaks, served rare. Costs US$27.99.
