Stephen Tanzer's IWC
Deep ruby-red. Roasted aromas of kirsch, coffee, game and herbs. Dense and extremely rich, but less roasted than Claude's own wines. Not quite as silky or seamless but less dominated by sheer surmaturit. Apparently from fruit not quite as ripe as Claude's-not a bad thing in this often freakishly ripe vintage. Very impressive, and showing better today than the '98.Additional Information

FranceThough French wines are the highest valued wines in the world, esteemed wines from Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne were only enjoyed locally until 150 years ago when transportation improvements made them widely available. French wine production is governed by a strict quality-control system, which regulates the grapes used in each region and classifies wineries according to an elaborate cru hierarchy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc are just a few of the important grape varietals with roots in French soil. View all our items from France
