An unqualified success for the vintage, this saturated dark ruby/purple-colored wine remains an infant in terms of its development. Still thick, juicy, intense, and full-bodied, with few signs of development, this structured, broad-flavored, sweet, jammy Syrah will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring. A weighty, husky wine, it has another 15-20 years of aging potential. Imported by Martine's Wines, San Rafael, CA; tel. (415) 485-1800, Wines of France, Alain Junguenet, Mountainside, NJ; tel.
