Les Hauts De Saint Julien
Château Beychevelle
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006
Still earthy on the nose and deep red-purple visually. After a short but vigorous decanting the tannic structure persisted to support dark fruit flavors on the palette. This wine still has many years of cellaring possible! — 11 days ago
Château Gruaud Larose
Sarget de Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
Black cherry, oak. Jammy, blackberry. — 7 days ago
Château Léoville-Las Cases
Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Tight as a drum at open. Loosened to trampoline tension after 2 hours. Finally was loose after 4. Spicy and hefty. More inward. A sophisticated mix and quite good but as with most Leoville Las Cases it needs to sit longer for the next iteration. — 10 days ago
Ironically, I just enjoyed a bottle of this in London and fully agree with your assessment. I am looking forward adding to my cellar. I have ‘82, ‘89, ‘01, ‘05, and ‘16 and it’s obvious that ‘09 needs to be in the mix. Only a couple of years for this juice to step to the next level and maybe
even before ‘05 . Nice find @Vino Joe
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1989
Has aged admirably. Cedar nose changes to fruit on the palate. — 9 days ago
Château La Grange
Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2021
Dark cherry red. Black currant and fruits. Good concentration. Powerful. Robust structure. Earthy. But keep gentle taste. 2 hours in-glass decanting. Chateau Lagrange 21 @18000, Txin, 241127 — a month ago

My second time trying the 2016 vintage. I’ll hang on to my remaining bottles as it’s only getting better. — 3 days ago
