Tuesday, August 10, 2021 - Wow, lots of fireworks!. Definitely a black fruited; full bodied St. Julien that has a Napa Valley personality without excessive alcohol, nor jamminess. I’ve had this before and this time from a 375ml bottle. Based on it’s outstanding flavor now; I believe a 750ml could only improve over the next 3 to 5 years. This wine was highly rated by wine critics; and I can see why. Does have some tannins at the end; so food is compulsory. This is a Chateau that does need age (2000 still has some time to go). Drink this 2003 now instead of the 2000 or 2005.
