Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
Bordeaux, France
2004
"Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing."
Ernest Hemingway
"Death in the Afternoon"
This wine will probably be fantastic in a few years. I enjoyed it well enough, but think a little laying down will make it superb. It was very earthy which I like, but the finish just wasn't quite there. And it was just under medium-bodied. The Guy, however, liked it even more than the previous night's Barossa Shiraz. I am going to try to buy a few bottles and save them to taste again down the road. I think it will be well worth it.
