Mid-ruby. A reticent nose, herbaceous, with pepper and red currant aromas. Lively acidity with a solid tannic backbone. Dry finish. Sweetness and fruit developing. A foodwine. Young and honest stuff, good! 13% alc.

Clear garnet, bricking at the rim. Decanted. Classic St. Julien nose, clean, tobacco and leather, showing no fruit. 1994 tannins still going strong, mellowing with time in the glass. Balanced acidity, a medium body and length. Not sure what Parkers 82? is all about, very nice drink. Last sip was the best, so give it time.12,6 (sic)% alc.

Lovely sausage aromas, salami, pepper and spice on the nose, dark fruit showing underneath. 10 years old and still possessing a powerful but ripend tannic backbone, mellowing further in the glass to a very good drink with a good balance and slight heat. 14% alc.
