April 9, 2023 - Easter Sunday Long Lunch (Crown Wine Cellars, 18 Deep Water Bay Drive, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): Opened two hours in advance then decanted for an hour before serving….seemed about right. Beautiful ‘bright’ and jeweled semi -transparent colour. Nose is deep bass piano notes of rich, plump mulberry fruit, sun-warmed cedar shingles....quite perfumed. Deep, rich rounded palate that is like cuddling up on a sofa in front of a log fire. Really nice rolling resonance. A gorgeous St. Julien in its probably optimal drinking window with a few more years not to worry about it. It reminds me of the best of 2nd tier St. Julien’s from 1990 and could reach that level. 9th of a case of 18 bought en primeur and the best bottle so far. Paired perfectly with simple baby French rack of lamb.93 easy
