Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged in 40% new French oak, deep Ruby red with aromas of red/black fruits, cigar box and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of black raspberry, plum and ripe black cherry with cacao, toasty oak and wafts of vanilla. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, cedar and spice. Drinking well will continue to develop, but nice now!

Nose: brambly cassis, graphite.

TASTE: the nose plus charcoal and lavender. Wow! So much purpley goodness. A delight! 94.

Very fruity and expressive wine. Some good depth and hint if more Bordeaux flavors but foraged and open.

94-95

Merry Christmas from Jim. Wine #2 Deep ruby color. Dark red fruit plus leather and licorice. A bit tannic. I would definitely decant before drinking.

Just strong enough. Just light enough in Summer. Love the wine
