2004 Roche Pressac - Castillon, Bordeaux, France

07/2007 - Black cherry and blackberry nose with smoky overtones. This wine does not start off on the right foot because the tannin is fairly dry on entry, and there is a touch of sulfur. However, it goes on to redeem itself with a more pleasant taste, and an aftertaste of acceptable concentration. This having been said, I am not very enthusiastic about the overall impression.
