Written Notes

Tasted in September 2019. Sweet fruit and tannin, very attractive indeed, excellent balance, structure and complexity, tastes really great, attractive and seductive, no excessice alcohol detected here! Silky Saint Julien to please! Significantly better after bottling. 

  • 92p
Medium deep colour. Graphite, slight tarry aromas with dark berry, curranty notes. Well concentrated blackberry, dark cherry inky fruit, fine plentiful chalky tannins, juicy mid-plate richness and attractive mineral length. 90 points
  • 90p
Dark purple red with violet hue and almost black core. Concentrated aroma but slightly closed, opens up well with some oxygen. On the palate well structured with full-bodied yet elegant character and good length.
