St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

awesomely rich nose of blackberry, cherry & currant ~ soft black licorice, cigar box & balsa wood

fruits taste muddled, candied and raisin like but w just a hint of acidity to make it work

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.

Ready. Fine. Nothing exciting

Christmas Dinner

Cedar, tobacco, blackberry, and cassis. Smooth and elegant.

Médoc Masterclass Highlight

Blackish purple robe, nose of cigar box, asphalt, blackcurrant and a hint of black pepper and spices. Medium bodied and very velvety, good length. Ready now but no rush. A really good bottle from a vintage we dont particularly like.

French cuisine. Blue fruit nose. Mineral n crush rocks with lilac. Palate is abit spicy and bitter

We had the 2010 Vintage on 4/5-6/20. A flowery bouquet. Raspberry, cherry, and a sweetness on the palate. A nice wine with an Old World feel.

This was great tonight. Still wound up and needed time even after a double decant. Very ripe fruit and great presence. More years will do this well.
