Notes:
Very average. I guess I have to drink it with some food or something. It just don't taste right with just sipping. I was sold on the idea that it was from the Saint-Emilion region, which is a well known producer of wine in France. By the way, I did keep this bottle for some time, I think I bought it in 2002, so 5 years before I drink it.

Would I Drink Again: Definitely yes
