Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Nice minty nose of red fruit and baking spices. The flavors are still very youthful. Lots of dark fruit, plums, cherries. Tannins still present, but integrated. Very impressive for a 11 year old “second wine”

lovely, textured, and approachable mature bordeaux. a lot of leather, cigar, tea leaf on the palate.

Reddish. Nuts like aroma. Concentrated, black currant, a bit strong tanning means it has not been aged enough, so should be decanted. 1.5 hours later, its taste is stable and very nice, that is a French wine. Mid+ @1800, Xuheng, 180130

Sadly, this example never moved past awkward. Was expecting more...

Nice lil 2nd bottle

Exceptional bottle. Hints of plum and currant under the graphite and espresso. Tannins on the finish but softer than anticipated.

I ate my 45 day, dry-aged strip way too slow and had to settle for doe of this! Interesting transition to a musty basement/dirty sock but delicious none the less. Big and strong, lots of tannins and great with the remaining bites of my dry-aged strip! Still needs some time.

Fantastic bottle of wine, a great addition to the wine cellar. #bordeaux #stjulien #croixdebeaucaillou #france #joeldamienrobitaille

Claret. And a good one too.

Delicious, dark fruits, perfect tannins...amazing out of the bottle...taste moderates a bit after decanting-in-glass unfortunately. Still amazing. Thanks, better half
