Tasting notes
Still quite dark crimson. Nicely integrated nose and beautifully balanced. Looking very good now. Classic claret with enough fruit for the evident tannin and acidity just right. Very much a classic St-Julien. GV (JR)

Tasted blind. Deep ruby. Wild-berry fruit on the nose. Succulent black fruit on the palate. Very chunky, with firm and drying tannins on the back end. Lacking a little fruit to match the burly structure. Warming finish. (TP)
