Apr 7th, 2018Doing a little Cali/BDX comparison and this is definitely holding its own. Wonderfully earthy, fine tannins, baked cherry and raspberry fruit, some fun floral stuff, silky.......Lucky day!

Not the best Gruaud-L. I had, but still a very nice, structured wine, reaching its maturity

£99 Magnum that RP said "one of the most disappointing St.-Juliens I tasted 84pts" well I think he should retry the great numpty 😜 Still could do w/ 2-5yrs 👍 Great nose but palate still a little tight
🍇 63% Cab S, 25% Mer, 9% Cab F & 3% Pet V
🍷 Opaque ruby
👃 Smokey oaky earthy farmyard through shy blackcurrant & spiced plum w/ minerals, leather, musky cellar & wet leaves - fab nose 👍
👄 Med earthy mocha blackcurrant body w/ dry tannins & touch of tart cherry
🎯 Med dry earthy blackcurrant finish

Needs an hour open. Still has good fruit but balanced, delicate and not too heavy. Versatile and plays well with a variety of dishes which made it perfect for dinner with the family.
