Christmas roast beef dinner with family, where this wine shone. Acidic, playful red fruit, leather in the back tones, with light tannins on the finish, very elegant. This is bottle 6 of 12, the first of which I tasted in 2010. An opportunity to show my daughter what a St Julien-like wine is- she commented on the very bubbly front taste from the acid, where I mostly focus on the fruit to leather evolution in the mid taste, harmonious to the end. One of my favorite wines.

Upon opening the bottle, a wave of fruit smells. No problem with the cork at all. 2 hour decant. Taste- fresh fruit- raspberry, darker blackberry, then leather and graphite, a hint of oak. Where other wines use oak to provide structure, this beauty uses multi-threaded fruits, acidity, and soft tannin. A really lovely wine to drink right now.

Lively, balanced, tobacco, graphite, mostly subtle and hidden under light fruit. A very joyful wine. We were celebrating a family dinner at the end of the pandemic- a great way to drink my second to last bottle of this. Fabulous on a cool spring night.
