A red Bordeaux-style blend. Bright acidity and a long finish. 1999 Chateau Ste. Crisp, with nectarine, citrus and mineral. Hint of sweetness, balanced by acidity.
Bright acidity balances the sweetness.
Supple tannins and good acidity. Ripe pear, with overtones of butterscotch and some minerals. Tangy acidity and toasty oak on the finish. Powerful yet elegant. Good tannic structure and some sweet oak.
