The Banyuls Terra Vinya is incredibly rich with a dense purple color and a refreshing, sweet personality. Made primarily from Grenache, it offers huge notes of chocolate, cocoa, and black fruits. This wine represents the French equivalent of a vintage Port. It reflects the impeccable winemaking of Michel Chapoutier. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900

The 1999 Banyuls Terra Vinya exhibits a big, smoky nose, but it is unevolved. It is a big, chewy, rich effort with moderate sweetness as well as a roasted chocolate/blackberry-laced personality. It should become more delineated with cellar aging, and should come close to equaling what was produced in 1998. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
