St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Blend of 60.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31.5% Merlot, 5.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.5% Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in French oak, deep Ruby red color with aromas of ripe dark fruits, cigar box spice and herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, currants, black cherry, tobacco and herbs. Fine structured tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco, spice and earthy mineral notes.

Very plush, red berry, red cherry, rose petal & dried orange rind. Medium + body medium + tannins, and soft; spicy finish, some pencil shaving & graphite. Highly perfumed long finish. I couldn’t wait. Amazing QPR at 60 bucks. 

Pretty big wine. Good tannin. A lot of cedar, tobacco, red berry, maybe some flowers, shaved dark chocolate, cherry compote. Will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Marvelous
