Saint-Julien

RED WINE

Appearance: The colour is a deep, dark ruby when young. Ten or twelve years after the harvest, it continues to with its dark, almost black appearance.

Nose: A very complex bouquet. Violet flowers blend with aromas of blueberry, blackberry, morello cherry, prune, tobacco, cocoa, vanilla and caramel. With age, scents of game meat, black truffle or leather appear.

Palate: Sap and elegance. Firm and powerful, the tannins indicate a beneficial evolution of the wine over time. This great Bordeaux wine has a tightly woven structure and great concentration, all within a velvety, enveloping texture. Notes of blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, prune, tobacco and liquorice dominate before revealing a hint of leather, fur and truffle as it ages. All of this is enhanced by beautiful toasted notes. With time, it reaches an exceptional level of aromatic subtlety, still supported by a beautiful tannic structure.

Ageing potential: Not to be drunk too young, from 10 or 12 years and up to 20 years and more. The harmony of this great wine is confirmed with age. It is a wine that should be forgotten in the cellar in favour of a slow evolution, which will only make it better.
