Friday, June 24, 2022 - Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of dark ruby colour, with narrow fading rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, oak notes of cedar, kernel notes of milk chocolate, mineral notes of earth, pungent spice of liquorice, maturity notes of savoury. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has high tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium alcohol and full body, with medium (+) intensity flavours of black fruit of blackcurrant and blackberry, red fruit of plum, oak notes of toast, pungent spice of liquorice. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality St-Julien with an intense nose showing good complexity, with the typical Bordeaux left-bank characters apparent, plenty of ripe black fruit and plum, refined oak and chocolate, liquorice and savoury development. The palate is well-balanced, with robust velvet tannin, good concentration of flavours and a long finish. It is ready to drink now and can further develop for another 2-3 years.
