Tasting Notes

"A stunning success for the vintage, this enticing St.-Julien reveals notes of lead pencil shavings, sweet raspberries and black currants and a subtle touch of oak. Elegant, restrained yet authoritative and impressively intense, it is a medium to full-bodied, lightly tannic effort will be even better with 1-2 years of bottle age and will keep for 15-20 years." - Robert Parker Jr., The Wine Advocate (4/26/2010, Issue 188), Ratings: 91, Drink: 2012-2032
