From 375. Decanted 3 hours. Amazing how approachable this is already. It’s obviously young but I don’t personally see this needing years of cellaring. Nose was quite open after the decant. Oak is not overpowering and tannins didn’t really dry my mouth at all. Yet more confirmation of how great the 2019 vintage is, and at the price this is great value.

Big and ripe wine with lots of dark fruit, sweet tabaco and damp earth. For such a young wine there was lots of depth and tannins are surprisingly integrated.

An excellent showing from this bottle today. Gave it around 3 hours of air. We expected this to be somewhat shut down but it showed very expressive cassis, tobacco, earth, and cedar notes. The palate was concentrated and generous while still holding something in reserve: leather, dark fruits, and polished tannins heading into the finish. The whole showed impressive integration for such a young wine and I'm optimistic about its medium- and long-term future.

Best on day 1 and day 4 so far. I get loads of bell pepper, some pipe tobacco and cedar. Lovely wine at an amazing value.

This was $42 on futures. Seriously, $42. What an incredible bargain. The depth and balance are classic Branaire, but to get that level with a different label would probably be three times the price. Of course I don’t want another label. This one has been a favorite for many years, and continues to this day. St. Julien is my sweet spot for Bordeaux, and this is exactly what I am looking for.
