    The garnet-red color is striking in its depth and density, with a beautiful brilliance.

    The racy nose expresses spicy, peppery, empyreumatic notes and a hint of strawberry jam.

    The attack is frank, with great amplitude and a fine tannic structure. Delicate notes of vanilla and pigeon heart cherry emerge on the palate.

    Already very good potential. A fruity, powerful St Julien with a beautiful subtlety. I prefer it with 1 hour of carrafage earlier than later.
