Country     : France
Region      : St. Emilion

Notes
-----
Ruby in color with pink edges; nose of tar and roses (that
should be a song by some goth group), smoke, plum and a hint
of butterscotch; medium-bodied with a very lovely mouthfeel
and a beautiful balance, wonderfully-integrated yet firm
tannins and bursting with flavor. Not a particularly
impressive finish, but that notwithstanding, very
drinkable.

This is IMO a prototypical Bordeaux wine with unique
character and complexity. It's not a world-class wine by any
means, but it demonstrates how superior the French can be at
making even average vintages and yields into wines that are
way above average. This is a wine that creeps up on you - do
not let first impressions sway you too much.

Production Notes
----------------
This wine is made using the most modern vinification
techniques and aged for 18 to 20 months in new oak barrels.
