The 1998 Touraine Gamay Vinifera is produced from ungrafted vines. It is dark ruby-colored and exhibits an awesomely ripe nose of jammy plums. This potentially outstanding wine has first rate depth, concentration, and structure. It coats the taster's palate with loads of sur-maturite-laced blackberries and spicy plums. Its admirable finish reveals enough ripe tannin to suggest excellent aging potential. Projected maturity: 2000-2007.Importer: Weygandt-Metzler, Peter Weygandt, Unionville, PA; tel(610) 486-0800.
