Drank with my wife for Mother’s Day, unfortunately by ourselves as our kid’s were busy. She enjoys soft mature wines, while I lean towards more vibrant offerings. This was textbook left bank with graphite, cedar and tobacco aromas. Tannins seemed pretty resolved so at least this bottle seemed at maturity. Not much fruit for my liking but enjoyable enough.

Very nice second label offering from this producer. Classic St Julian bottle with cassis, cedar notes. In a good drinking window with a short decant
