Cellar/Tasting Notes
Saint-Julien is a small but important appellation whose reputation is based on its status as a reliable source of consistently elegant, age-worthy wines. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (RP): 95+ "... elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors ..." Stephen Tanzer (ST): 95 "Full medium ruby. Aromas of currant, black cherry, licorice, minerals and flowers. Thick, sweet and deep; ... boasts sneaky intensity and wonderful persistence ..." Wine Spectator (WS): 95 "A racy, classy, silky wine. Inky-ruby color. Black cherry, mineral and wet earth aromas. Medium-bodied, with very silky tannins and a long, superfine finish. Has always been excellent." |
