At eight years this wine is drinking very well - it has become soft and is now showing many tertiary characteristics. On the nose and in the mouth this wine is has lots of autumn leaves - even slightly mouldy autumnal characteristics. The fruit is fairly subdued and perhaps more integrated than hidden. The alcohol seems to poke out a bit especially given that it is only actually 13%. Overall, a very enjoyable wine from St Julien showing more as a soft Bordeaux rather than specially a St Julien.
