Beautifully balanced St. Julien with a solid backbone laced with violets. Enough structure to hold for 10+ years. I decanted for an hour and it wasn’t long enough.

Wow! Beautiful dark cherry liqueur style fruit, blackberries, dark cherries, some amazing vanillin notes, Julien elegance, sweet dark earth, dry stones, bright florals, acidy for days and great polish. Buy a bunch.

Drank 1/18/19 at the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux event in Miami. All wines from the 2016 Vintage. Tasting pour, no formal notes taken. Most of these wines are very tight, and will require 5-15 years to really come together. Many will likely improve a few points with time. This was tied with the Beychevelle for my favorite St Julien of the night. Complex dark fruit with big tannins, showing better than the Leoville Barton at this stage.
