Tertre de Moulin, Grand Cru, St Emilion, 2004
This wasn't a bad wine, yet it was disappointing. Here I am at a party, and there's a lot of open bottles of wine. This one? Maybe not. That one, hmmm. Ahh: I spot a Grand Cru St Emilion. Okay, that's what I'll drink. And yet, it wasn't much like what I was expecting.
The nose was wood, fruit, cherry, stems, saw dust, river rock, and a very subtle vanilla.The taste was black cherry, and maybe blackberry and/or plum. The vanilla was there too, and still very subtle. The body was medium and it was dry. The finish was black cherry, and very tannic (lots of stems). A bit later I found some pepper in the finish too. Surprisingly it was not as earthy as I would expect.
Again, this wasn't a bad wine. And later I found out it was about $15 for the bottle. So for that, it was very decent -- just not anything like what you might guess to be inside a bottle with a label reading "Grand Cru".

I think you are doing a great job promoting wines and I enjoyed reading your site. Keep up the good work!
I wanted to share this wine store that has hard-to-find organic, biodynamic, and foreign wines, as well as 90+ Wines Under $30. I love it!
