I'll confess to loving 1981 more to an almost unseemly degree. Thank you, Jamie!

Very nicely aged. Beautiful brown-ish aged rim. Lovely nose which still included some freshness even after all these years. Really lovely aged St Jules

Mar 31st, 2017Well, this is no spring chicken but it goes mighty well with it (roast chicken, that is). This bottle was a very good one, better than some of the 82s we have had. No brown edges, just tottering along gently into ripe old age.

Elegant. Can taste the terroir; still decent fruit. Some nice wines from 1981!
