Spicy cranberry, black tea, crushed leaves. Fall in a bottle. Fun stuff. — 6 months ago
Deep ruby. Tobacco, ash, graphite, tons of French oak. Pyrazene. Rather juicy and just ripe fruit - mix of dark and red currants, and red plums. Tarter on palate. Very structured. Called it a left bank 2018 Margaux……… — 8 months ago
Oldschool Classic at it’s best!
Surprisingly fresh in the nose with black currant leaf, a pleasant greenness, pencil shavings and a plethora of tertiary aromas.
On the palate this is rather light bodied with still quite youthful grippy tannins, juicy acidity and great length.
This is poised, has presence and really good length.

2012, Clos des Vignes du Maynes,,, Macon Cruzille, Manganite, Gamay. Tart red fruit, spice, acid and a slight amount of CO2. Clean and refreshing expression of Gamay. Good wine from one of my favorite producers. — 8 years ago
Great stuff. Definitely needs air. Like chili, it's even better on day 2 — 9 years ago
2005 vintage. Beautiful nose, with cassis, blackberries, cedar wood, a little smokiness,and flowers. Seriously concentrated, combining power and elegance. Layers of fruit in a tight but ripe tannic structure. Showing beautifully now, but it should age effortlessly for decades. Classic Saint-Julien. — 3 months ago

An utterly outrageous wine.
Nose is mildly tropical.
Palate is elegantly rich. Hint of nectarine. But I’m just approximating. It’s really just this utterly yummy indescribable fruit. A kiss of chalk. Nicely mineral. Fresh.

2012, Clos Des Vignes Du Maynes, Cuvée 910, Macon-Cruzille, field blend of Gamay, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Very light with fresh red fruit balanced by spice and herbal undertones. This is one of my favorites, good as an apertif and pairs well with a variety of dishes. — 10 years ago

Really a wonderful St J and a crazy value as a 2nd wine. Lovely pairing with roast rack of lamb with garlic / rosemary / mustard. In a good window but could take more time honestly. Wonderful acid, quite deep fruit, long finish, tannins still very there, delicious. — 3 months ago
