Stored in cold cellar since release. Cork broke. High fill. Good condition. Blackcurrant leather bouquet. Black fruit leather spice. Some tannin left. Good balance sufficient length. Just a touch rustic. Some time in hand but seems no point to keep.

Stored in a cold cellar since release. Cork broke but no leakage. Subdued bouquet. Light good balance with just about sufficient length. Clearly not a great vintage. No spirit showing through. Drink very soon.

Stored in a cold cellar since release. Fill just above neck. Deep colour. Bouquet of black fruits and leather. Medium bodied. Decent balance and length. Definitely St Julien! But lacks elegance and finesse. Will keep for up to ten years but there seems little point as unlikely to improve.
