Very complex wines I think are best appreciated with simple dishes that highlight the wine and simple wines, vice versa. FWIW, this may be true in many cases but like "red wine with meat, white wine with fish") it's not true in all cases. In the case of a St. Emilion, I'd shy away from going overboard on the complexity. While St. Emilions tend to be forward and fruity (by Bordeaux standards anyway) they can also be somewhat understated and could be overwhelmed by an overly complex dish. My inclination would be to go with something grilled with a bit of flavor. Steak certainly works, but you could also go with tuna or swordfish, maybe with a mustard based sauce of some kind. I would avoid any spices outside of the standard French pantheon. I haven't had this particular wine, but I am very fond of St. Emilions in general - it's one of the few regions left in the world that consistently produces affordable, quality merlots. (And the fact that the WS is lukewarm towards it is probably a good sign). Once you do drink it, I'd be interested in hearing what you thought of it. Edit: I see I inadvertantly replied to MP. In case it's not obvious this was meant to be a reply to the question posed by SG.
