The wine is full bodied, but elegant with lots of fruit when young. The wine ages very well and develops all the characteristics of a great Bordeaux. 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 3% petit Verdot.

Rating for France-Bordeaux-Saint-Julien: 85 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: quite possibly over the hill<br/>
