Abbaye de Saint-Ferme, 'Les Vinges du Soir', Bordeaux, 2004
Here's another bottle from that trip to Zupan's for 'cheap' wine for a party. The idea was to get decent wine for about $10 per bottle.
The nose is peat moss, chemical, bark and dark green vegetable (weighted in that order). The taste is totally prune and raisin. The finish has that apple-dryness and prune and hints of wood (no, not vanilla/oak ... just a dry wood).
I think this was a really decent wine for the price ($12). It was relatively very smooth, earthy and had a good mouth-feel (as the back label advertises).
