St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2007 vintage. Modest nose, deep garnet color. First sip thin, unintegrated. An hour and a half later came medium bodied raspberry, black cherry, plum, with a touch of wood and vanilla. Also a touch of cork, unfortunately. Still quite pleasant with steak dinner, and for sipping afterward. Label says 77% merlot, 14% cab franc, 9% cab sauv. ABV 13%.
