Nearly outstanding, the 1998 Costera is a terrific value. Ninety percent of this wine comes from the Cannonau grape. Deep ruby-colored, with medium to full body, robust, peppery, black cherry, and raspberry flavors, high glycerin, a sweet, chewy mid-palate, and a dense, dry, powerful finish, this substantial, mouthfilling red can be drunk over the next 4-5 years.A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel.
