Took awhile to open up, even after decanting. Lush fruit, crisp acid, and very nice structure.

Day 2, out of magnum. Drinking great. Classic St J gravel earthiness, pencil lead, depth.

A truly special wine. Great balance or cherry fruity and tannins. Better Bordeaux are double the price. What a value, even at $80.
