Tasting Notes
Another sleeper of the vintage, this very stylish St.-Julien has a dark ruby/purple color, light tannins, but beautiful berry fruit intermixed with some underbrush, mocha, and floral notes. Fruity and already charming, this wine should drink nicely for 8-10 years.
-by Robert Parker
This has a winey core of black currant, crushed fig and mulled spice, layered with a maduro tobacco note. The lightly chalky grip extends through the finish, with the dark fruit showing persistence. Drink now through 2017.
