Tom Kobylarz

Beef jerky, tomato confit, roast beef, iron, savory, black cherries; the core color is pretty dark for 26 years old, edges are brick to rose in color; the palate is medium plus and the tannins are polished and mature with plenty of good structure.

Had the 1988 vintage fantastic mix of ripe plum with touches of prunes, a little green bell pepper on the nose and slight spicy note of black pepper. Well balanced tannins, garnet shade

Getting tired. Still had some interesting typical notes from st-julien but was quite a deception for the vintage.

Lots of green peppers on the front silky, light but lacks structure a little
