Tasting Notes
A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot... it has a saturated purple hue to go with an incredible, mineral-laced bouquet of crème de cassis, liquid violets, graphite, and tobacco leaf. More structured and concentrated than any of the Léovilles, this blockbuster, deep, concentrated, full-bodied Saint-Julien has off-the-charts purity, ultra-fine tannins, and a great, great finish. I wrote in my notes, 'Like the 2010, only better.' - Score 100 - Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, March 2023
Serving Suggestions
