title: Château Jacques Noir 2010  Saint-Émilion
description: Concentrated chocolate and licorice flavors characterize this wine, which shows signs of extraction along with a burn from the alcohol. Its fruit is the high point, with a burst of ripe blackberry juice, plus a black-currant-like tautness. The superripe Merlot will need several years to soften.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
