Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

This was a wonderful Bordeaux drinking at or near peak. Sweet blackberry, cassis, lots of cedar, leather, so smooove

Richness, power, well structured and smooth. Cassis, damp earth and hints of licorice and tobacco.

Good funk. Smoky, nutty and in a drinking window that is showing its class.

Very extracted, concentrated plum, fig, powerful and seductive aromatics. a very enjoyable wine.

Brett bomb. Too much band-aid overpowers the wine. One dimensional. Med tannins.

Elegance & power. #bordeaux all night!!!

Nice, but not one of the greats for the vintage.

2000 vintage. This is one of the better BDX 2000's I've had in the last decade. Opened not decanted. Tasted 1 hour and 4 hours after opening. Feminine body, masculine flavors. Plenty of stuffing and instructive markers laid down along the palate pathway. With apologies to Robert Zimmerman, you ain't going nowhere. 10.2.26.

Black fruit, earth, good mouth feel, medium bodied. Still has good acidity
