Chateau St. Jean Merlot 1999

Sonoma County, California, United StatesOpen spicy rich black cherry and menthol with a touch of sweaty leather. Rich and round but has the firm acidity and tannins of Sonoma to keep it balanced in the mouth. Long warm spicy clove pepper flavours and tight tannins to loose yet. Will improve and round out with time.Tasted: 01 March 2002Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
