  The structure of the 99 is still apparent, tending to make the wine a more classical Claret. Some nice freshness remaining, notable graphite and minerality. Nice intensity.

  {magnum} This PnP was in fine shape, and drank well, if slightly different across two days (I preferred day two). There's nothing terribly complex about this, but it's earthy, gentle, and elegant natured all in the framework of a medium>med+ body made it pretty irresistible when considering another glass. Lots of soil, some forest, tobacco and a pretty mixture of black and red fruits form the core. In this format, it's still got the goods/freshness I seek, and it's therefore a solid companion to food. Thank you, Corey. Easily recommended

  Merry Christmas to me pt 2. Absolutely killer with standing rib roast. as expected. Not as full as the last time I had it, but nonetheless classic Saint Julien. Ripper.

  Brings me back to 2006 when I first tasted the wine! Gorgeous aroma of pure, sweet red berry fruits, subtle and a solid, lengthy finish!

  Tart cherry aromatics with some herbaceous green elements, wet soil, graphite, and tobacco.
  Med body, med acid, med tannin.
  Very well balanced in the mouth and shows it’s structure on the finish.
  This should open up nicely with air. It will drink great for another 10+ years.
