Aroma: Red currant and blackberry fruit with soft tannins allied to great density.
Palate: Its plump blueberry and currant flavors feel concentrated, completely integrating the oak so that the tannins are cushioned rather than extracted.
Conclusion: Its vintage character shows in caramelized notes at the end of the wine, in spice that builds out of the warmth.
Editor Choice: These can be less elegant, and consequently reduce the expression of finesse in the wine, a typical quality of a great Saint-Julien.
