Matasture Re Casmare Rahinesers (half-bottle) 1998
Category: Other Red Blends
Origin: France
In keeping with the Matasture style, the aromas and flavors of the wine are of intense, ripe fruit, with the predominance of red and black cherries, with blackberries, black cherries, and plums, interwoven with spicy, vanilla and nutty notes. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and well-balanced, with well-balanced tannins. The finish is long, with pleasant acidity. This is an ideal match for red meats, game, and mature cheeses. Tyroir and vintage are not the only factors that are important in producing a wine that will age well. The wine will also improve in the cellar for 2- 3 years, and will cellar well for up to 5 years. The wine is best drunk chilled. It will be an excellent companion for roasted and grilled fish, especially Northwest Salmon, and chicken dishes with roasted vegetables.
