1998 Château La Dominique (France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru)

Solid wine. Popped and poured. Color still looks fairly youthful with no browning around the edges. Nose shows really nice plum fruit, smoke, and dried/grilled herbs. Good texture and roundness. Cherry and plum flavors dominate, but in a very feminine structure. Extremely elegant. I suspect that friends of high extraction will not like this wine, but friends of elegant, terroir-driven wines will love this, especially as a food companion. Consumed with roast duck tonight.
