Château Plaisance 2010 Red (Montagne-Saint-Émilion)

Price $25

Ripe and extracted, this shows more of a bitter chocolate note than a fruit flavor. It has a very dry, firmly tannic character, with a dark, smoky feel. Powerful and concentrated, its pepper and spice tones accompany the note of black plum skin. Expect this to soften slowly over 4–5 years. — R.V. (2/1/2013)
