St Emilion GCC. Always game to try an obscure label like this. Very dark ruby color not indicative of its bottle age. Rather closed nose - Wet stones. Palate is q thin, but with the 'aged cabernet sauv' taste I favour (although it's primarily Merlot based). I think this is slightly over the hill, the fruit is gone, but still a decent specimen w no offending funk or tannins (7.4/10)Tuesday, May 31, 2011
