Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Tobacco and dark fruit. Ink and pure midpalate. Still quite dense and lean. Good stuff.

Speziato e balsamico.

Herbal and minty ROSEMARY. DARK CHOCOLATE. Red cassis, currant, crushed minerality. Empty cigar box. Intensely concentrated.

Again, cedar , cassis, leather, graphite, pepper.

67 mystery year but wow…low neckperfect cork…only good bottles not always good years! Simply delicious can’t stop drinking it :)

Great wine and really opens up about 30min in. It could use a little more time in the cellar but, with the right steak it is ready to go.

Vintage 2015 | paired with beef tenderloin

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits with earth, vanilla, cedar, leather, licorice, tobacco leaf, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee, spices and dark chocolates.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

What a great Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Saint Julien.

This gorgeous wine feels much younger than it is right now. Complex and tasty.

This 18 year old will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 4 hours in the decanter.

Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 97 points.

Thank you Robbie for sharing this with me.

The 2005 vintage was outstanding, and it's really shining through right here.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.

A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot. Aged in 100% new French oak barrels.

13% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

$325.

Twelth Night. Tad tired for this early in its life. Tad Bretty. Dark fruit persists.
