Château de Ferrand
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Unknown provenance, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm a little torn about this wine - it's pretty advanced with flavours of raisins and cooked black fruits, but at the same time flashes of intense fruitiness in the form of crème de cassis comes through, and there was a real length to the wine too. Scents of tobacco, wood, earth, and herbs were also much welcomed, and so were the powdery persistent tannins, but I just can't help but yearn for more freshness. Ultimately, it's not a claret I enjoyed. A nil in the binary scale.
