Delicious cherries, spice, earth. Shockingly bright and structured for a 20 year old wine. Plenty of life, clearly can go for many more years.

Great. Minerals, peach, strawberries. Lively and powerful. Much better than the somewhat off and muted first bottle.

Classic old-school claret. Cherries, earth, tobacco. Nice acidity. Began quite austere but opened up in the glass. Plenty of people will find this too dry, but it is just my style.

Good solid classic claret. Nicely balanced. Dry in a good way and enough fruit and structure to hold and wait for more secondary characteristics.

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/15/2022 - danibus Likes this wine: 92 points

In a great place. Dark cherry, mint/menthol, lead, currant. Smooth but still with a tannic backbone and good acidity that should keep it drinking well for a while.

9/6/2021 - danibus Likes this wine: 93 points

Wonderful purity of high toned fruit. Fine grained tannins. Pretty, delicious cherries and stone. All that fruit masks excellent structure, with the tertiary/secondary notes likely to emerge years later. Great now but probably even greater with patience. 93+

Deep and rich but lacked nuance and complexity. Smooth dark fruit and coffee. I suspect it will develop nicely with another 5-10 years. Hold. 92+

Big dark fruit. Silky and rich, with violet and currant. On the modern side, a bit too much oak for me. Excellent nonetheless.
