4/14/2024 - StefanAkiko Does not like this wine: 80 Points
Around 80p.
Too acidic and only a small showing of Bdx typicity.
Mainly an over-polished CS with poor personality.
Maybe time will do some magic here, but I doubt it.

A modern day classic; there were savoury and seasoned dark fruits, and spice supported by melting tannins which yielded a mocha finish. It had lift, dimension and complexity, developing a super-rich mouthfeel without ever being too weighty. Each mouthful revealed a new dimension and pleasure. Impressive. CHP 94 pts

Beautiful vibrant Bordeaux, a Coravin Glas today.
The bouquet has lots of primary dark fruit, mint, herbs, nice cedar and tobacco leaves.
The palate is quite chewy and the tannins are refined, but there are tons of them. The wine is mouth-coating with a long finish.
I would guess, its not yet at its prime drinking window but already showing a great potential. I would probably wait a few more years and then enjoy this gorgeous St. Julien for decades to come.
