Chateau de Ferrand 1998 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru (Cab blend)
Finally, another old world Wine of the Week pick. For $38 this Bordeaux is very complex and interesting with medium-full intensity. It's lost a bit of its purple colour and shows a touch of brick from age, so the nose has pronounced mineral characteristics, with no fruit to speak of. It has big tannins that have softened over time, and gamey barnyard flavour characteristics.
