2009 is warm and inviting, with leather and clove, cinnamon and coriander. Wheat bread browned darkly. Black cherry, muddy puddle, blackberry, black currant, mocha. Round and supple on the palate with velvety tannins, black and ripe red cherry, tart raspberry and black olive meeting black pepper. Solidly built, boasting muscle beneath the flowing subtleties. Amazing wine!

Enjoyed this solid Bordeaux at @theodeon. It showed both fruit and tannins. The deep dense color and rich flavor backed the plum and dark berry fruitiness with the right amount of savory. #frenchwines #bordeau #bordeauxandburgers #bordeaux #chateaugloria #saintjulien #redwine #redwines #frenchredwine @theodeonnyc — 7 years ago
Vintage 1994 / old school #saintjulien and I love every sip of it. Very expressive, that nice ‘stinking’ smell (you like it or hate it) pencilshaving and amazing good balance. 24y and delivering joy. Respect. — 8 years ago
Vintage 2010 - I gave it two hours in a decanter. Very smooth wine. #saintjulien — 8 years ago
Vintage 1989 - need to be drunk now, a real beauty with impressive smell #saintjulien #talbot — 9 years ago
Black mushrooms and plums add smoky earth to black currant and cassis, violets and pepper nose. Graphite, tobacco and shredded cedar push the cassis and dried black currant to a surface of black olives through a silky, floral-punctuated finish.

Smoky espresso and chocolate, oregano, black pepper and mint, graphite glittered wave of grill and cast iron, bacon residue, cassis nose. Palate of black pepper and kalamata olives, eucalyptus and bittering currant reduction.

A more feminine example of Left bank Bordeaux. Dark red fruit, a bit of leather. #saintjulien — 6 years ago

Sure, it might be still a bit young, but close to it’s peak and delicious so why wait, it’s my birthday! Opened up faster than I would have expected for a 2012 Médoc, beautifully balanced cassis fruit, acidity and velvety, well-knit tannins. Elegant but still powerful, some sediment that was easily taken care with decanting. #saintjulien #médoc — 7 years ago
Smooth roller this one. Velvety and rich #saintjulien — 8 years ago
Great structure. Tannins and acidity on point #saintjulien — 8 years ago
32 years and going strong. Chanterelle and porcini with earth notes and crushed cherries and baked plum. Palate of dried blackberries and alluvial strolls, black currant and smoke. Cedar-cinnamon-tobacco triumvirate. Gloriously strong and hearty.

Sweet tobacco notes interspersed with woodsy mushrooms, warm rye bread with toasted sesame and grill notes. Cherry and baked currant tart. Silky soft cherry open reveals exquisitely suspended smoke framing black cherry and cedar dusted black currant and dried blackberry with sage and nutmeg.

Vintage 1989 - true to type #saintjulien that combines refinement and power. Cedar. Laurel. Minerals. Still an impression of red fruit after 29 years. Alive and kicking. Rich wine with an truffle impression. Partnered with lamb and vegetables Grandmere. — 8 years ago

Ripest red cherry and red rose aromatic hybrid. Cherry and strawberry blossoms. Herbaceous basil and tarragon sweetness awash in warm plum and baked currants. Flowering elms with wet black bark. Finally, oak and smoke. Perfect integration on the palate. Ready now but also for the foreseeable. Sweet raspberry and blackberry flash and recede to an obverse tart cherry with incredible indelible, satisfying depth. Sweet tobacco is outlined by Saigon cinnamon, clove, allspice and a strangely sweet pepper dichotomy. Really a perfect wine in every way. Smoke and graphite find a way to bow into the shimmery finish with finesse.
