Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe but a bit grippy in texture, medium alcohol and medium body, demonstrating medium (+) intensity of flavors including black fruit of cassis and blackberry, herbal notes of Chinese medicine, pungent spice of licorice, sweet spice of clove. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality St-Julien with good intensity on the nose showing complex characters, with a wide range of aromas, the wine has an elegance structure, with nice acidity, lively but the tannin is a bit too grippy. The palate has good concentration too with a reasonable finish. It is ready to drink now but can further develop for another 3-5 years.
