Tuesday, March 12, 2013 - Good quality St-Julien GCC with medium ruby color, a reasonable concentrated nose showing developing and fairly complex aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and black cherries, cedar, savory and tobacco, liquorice, meaty and leather. Medium in acidity, the tannin is quite high with ripe and talc-like texture. Fairly full-bodied, the reasonably intense palate has blackcurrant, blackberry and black cherries, liquorice, vanilla and cedar. With a reasonable finish, the wine is a bit too mediocre for a second growth. Ready to drink now though can benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.
