Tonight we had good life long friends over and we opened a wonderful this St. Julien Bordeaux. 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot. Just like how I like my Bordeaux, well balanced, good fruit and a sense of place. On the nose I can pick up notes of plum, black raspberry, black currant and a nice licorice. On the palate the is good dark fruit, black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, cassis, tobacco, and smoky campfire. I love the chewy tannins and a medium + acidity with a good long finish. Everything I look for in a quality Bordeaux.

2008 vintage out of magnum. Feminine and pretty, not showing lots of complexity now.

Not a lot going on. Seemed to be closed and tight without much love to give.

Medium ruby core , quite narrow pink ruby rim . Slightly dusty , cassis , tobacco , spicy plum and dark cherry. On the palate more of the same dark fruits with tobacco and cedar notes, nice roundness, fills out on the palate , though with refreshing acidity . Ok finish , with ripe quite noticeable tannin and an earthy, mineral touch. Good now , though will continue to hold for a further 10 years .

This is deferent from 2010, 1996. 2nd of 2008. Concentrated to the direction of earthy, burned flavor, same as Lagune, Gloria. 2008 @2450, xiaduo - Eric Cai, 210427-210511

@Peter Greenberg thought I was opening the one you put on detectable the other day but realized it was not. This one is really good also. A Cabernet from Saint Julien
