Saint-Julien Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Cedar in all its permutations but i do find it a bit thin.

Tight, slightly reduced, and rather Bretty. Sharp acidity, moderate tannins. Fruit mostly dried up.

Actually enjoyed this more than the 95 last night. A little more freshness and fruit was brighter.

Another Bordeaux showing well

Fab @ £63 & doesn’t disappoint but 05 nicer for a little more 💵

🍷 Opaque ruby

👃 Smokey torched oak, leather, gravel, minerals & pencil lead through spiced dark berries & plum

👄 Med body of dark ripe plum & blackcurrant w/ a touch of bitter mocha, liquorice & blackberry

🎯 Med+ plummy blackcurrant mineral loaded linger

Härlig men kräver lång luftning

Earthy cedar followed by a hint of cinnamon jolly rancher?? Maybe some coffee. Not bad

Very smooth for Saint Julien wine. It has aged well. Very tasty.

Elba Italy ok

Silky smooth with soft tannins. Very enjoyable.
