  No formal notes, fairly light taste world, the vintage comes though, ok but not more.

  Am Anfang verschloßen und säuerlich. Brauchte Luft, nach Dekantieren und 3 Stunden ok. Tabaknoten, nasses Zeitungspapier, recht herb. Frucht und Tannine sind abgebaut. Noch ok

  Good nose. Dark fruits and herbs. But diluted and indistinct on the palate. Lacks enough extract/concentration to stand up to the lamb shank we had it with. Tastes watered down. Not what I'd expect at this price point.

  Nice older nose. Dust graphite, vegetal on the nose, lots of leather on the nose. Pop is gone. Not much fruit at all. Mostly alcohol. Quite thin and light weight, but still OK. A little medicinal, a little sour. A bit past its prime.

  Popped and poured. Watery reddish purple in color. Nice nose - best part of the wine. Slightly sour, with notes of pencil lead and leather. Vegetable juice. Tastes like the St. Julien it is, but past its prime. Very little fruit left. Short, unsatisfying tail. Started with no food, but got much better when paired with food. Somewhat disappointed with this one, as I had higher expectations.
