  2. The wine was aged for at least two years.
  3. The wine is only from small plots of land.
  4. The wine was aged for at least five years.
Explanation
Answer: A - If a wine is labeled “Superieur” in France it means that the wine has more alcohol than the basic appellation. Superieur wines often have about 1% more alcohol than the basic appellation. Although the label says Superieur, having more alcohol does not make a wine better.
