Chocolate brownie and mud puddle, baked mincemeat pie with light spicing, vanilla seed, coffee bean, thyme. Silky mouthfeel showing cherrywood and crispy bay leaf, earl grey tea, fallen oak, coffee soaked puffball mushroom, smoky pencil, peppercorn and lavender. A pleasure from end to end, and focused.

Great bang for your buck, second wine from #branaireducru #stjulien #bordeaux #joeldamienrobitaille — 9 years ago
Plummy, blackberry, dried currants, mulberry, lavender, cedar, tobacco and smoke.
Smoky graphite and mineral opening with fully integrated tannins and overall cohesion. Lovely floral and berry mix with mulberry, cassis and currant, lavender, rose, and violet. Strong showing on a 38 year old wine.

2005. Portobello, loamy soil, blackberry, black cherry, violets, oyster shell, black peppercorn, grilled beef on the nose. Black and red currant, slight grapiness, cedar bark, pencil, black olive, wheat toast, fine tabac, clove, red cherry. Pointy in places, but really holding together in terms of age.

Last two bottles they had:( Always consistent and pretty integrated. Lovely wine that we miss having as an option. Cheers! #chateautalbot #stjulien — 4 years ago
Black cherry, black currant, licorice, tar, olive tapenade and pleasant orange peel aromas. Lovely #stjulien #wine blending power and elegance beautifully. #medoc #bordeaux #grandcruclassé #ducrubeaucaillou — 9 years ago

Third wine of 2nd growth #stjulien Bordeaux châteaux. Richer, almost New World style, black currant, bramble fruit, cigar box nose, decent balance on palate. Medium plus tannins that build over time. — a year ago
