Saint-Julien, 2me cru classé
Excellent appearance. Levels base of neck or better

Tasting Note: 'An understated classic' at the two opening tastings. Lovely fruit, flavour and fragrance. Showing well at a tenth anniversary horizontal masterclass of '88s: luminous, fine but understated a touch of sweetness, long tail, delicious. A few months later, masculinity noted; but a fine wine. Last noted, coping with smoked chicken at the Bath Spa 'Classic Wine Dinner', Dec 1998 **(**) 2008 - 2016 M.B.
