WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Supple yet full-bodied, a typically fine Saint Julien that needs 8-10 years to reveal its rich and fruity, elegant flavors of cassis, vanilla and ripe blackberries.

User Tasting Note
-
iPaddyDeep ruby to garnet. Dark sweet aromatic black cherry with leather and toast and dried red fruit. Chewy, rich and dense but perhaps a little bit thin. A subtle and simple finish. Well balanced but didn't open up as well as hoped and possibly beginning to deteriorate.
