Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

This is special. Roasted green pepper to roasted poblano with some tobacco and wet earth.

Top vintage from an over-performing chateau. Nailed it.

1982!

'82 never fails. A great bottle ready to go.

1982 vintage. Very savory. Medium bodied. Not big but pretty.

Definitely time to drink! And definitely proves once again that I like my BDX with quite a bit if age.

Wine of the night.

Crushed seashell/ocean and pencil on the nose. Very secondary decomposing earthy palate with little fruit beyond blackberry seed. My daughter highlighted Soy Sauce on the nose as well...the padawan learns quick.

‘82

A throwaway bottle with an iffy cork. Saved from the fire and hey! This is solid! Little orange at the rim but hanging in there. Nice richness and depth. Am I going to get it all down in time?!
