Dark garnet. Cassis bouquet with some eucalyptus notes. Soft attack, dark cassis mid-palate, fine tannins and somewhat intrusive oak. Medium body and final.

This is on its way out. Still has good structure, hints of leather, red fruits fading, and the finish approaching a tart state. Not what it used to be since I last visited it, if you have any DRINK NOW! A once amazing find that was great to drink on release, then developed into a pretty textbook example of classic left bank has now seen its best years gone by... It still has life, but its coming close to an end..

Dark and deep ruby red color. Meaty, juicy and massive aromas with red fruit, leather, wood and some caramel. Massive and fruity in the mouth. Had expected more complexity. Feels rather extracted, and not quite what I connect with a Saint Julien.

Opened 2 hours prior. Dark garnet. Cassis bouquet with some sandalwood notes. Balanced, refreshing and complex on the palate with a nice mid-palate of dark fruits playing off a finely polished oak tannin background. Medium final. Very nice balance.

Drinking well. Very correct if not exactly spectacular.
