Why St. Emilion Rocks...

St. Emilion is known for being more approachable when young, yet many have outstanding potential for aging.  Case in point is the 1998 La Couspaude... its 70% Merlot + 30% Cab Franc blend provides a solid framework that could keep it going for another 10 years.
Black currant & kirsch with fine tannins, and a very tasty eucalyptus note ... gotta love what the Cab Franc brings to this dance....
