  November 21, 2015 - Our wine merchant friends from Saint Emilion suggested with give this reasonably priced, ready to sip now, Grand Cru Classe a try. Merci beaucoup, fellas, she is a winner! A blend of classic St. Emilion blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Thick ruby red on the eye...did you say opaque, yes, we did! Dark cherries, blackberries and some red berries on the nose. Juicy liquorice with toasted vanilla and almonds and a nice dose of smokey oak, medium bodied with subtle tannins on the palate. Sophisticated, elegant and fairly long finish. She is singing beautifully now, but we anticipate another decade or so of sheer pleasure from this excellent statement of small is beautiful!
