Classic, elegant Saint-Julien with cedar, cassis, and graphite notes leading to a medium-bodied, well-balanced palate with fine-grained tannins and a long, savory finish. Drink over the next 15-20 years.

Bright and focused with dark berry and pencil-shaving character. Medium body, refined tannins and a clean, mineral-driven finish. A very reliable Saint-Julien for the cellar.
