Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Fun to share this Mag with a couple of old farts who claim this as their birth year @romo @Bill Bender
Great cigar box nose and probably in better shape overall than those two!

All these from the 1966 vintage. The magnum of Bordeaux in perfect condition. The humans, not so much. With my good friend @Bill Bender

17.5/20 (93/100) Красивый, зрелый, насыщенный букет ароматов сушеных белых грибов, сухих чёрных ягод, ванили, шоколада и мускатного ореха. Высокая кислотность и довольно интенсивные, замшевые по текстуре танины. Вкус несколько отстаёт от аромата по насыщенности. Тем не менее, великолепный баланс для вина в таком возрасте.

Very smooth on the palate. Deep and rich.

Excellent color for a 50 year old a tad on the brickish side. Enough fruit to keep your interest. A bit short on the finish a very strong example of a wine from a great vtge and a good property

Wedding give from the wife. Interesting vintage, changed in the glass ever 15 min, first few sips were flat and disappointing. After about 30 min it opened, a ton of leather and cigar depth.
