Saint-Julien 2019

From one of Saint-Julien's great estates. It is rich, luscious and drinking beautifully. It has considerable class as you would expect from a wine of this provenance. In a word - delicious. At about 1/5 of the price of the château label.

How does the wine taste?
Rich, powerful and bursting with red and black fruits, this is a remarkably complex claret. Good concentration underpinned by a streak of minerality alongside hints of cedar and leather. A perfectly balanced masterpiece. Real quality here and for another 6-8 years.

What do the critics say?
Reviews of the previous 2014 vintage
"We've offered the 2014 St Julien before and this, sadly, will be the last time before we change vintages. Coming from beautiful stony soil, it's marked by tobacco and cedar notes, with light, graceful, mellow fruit and a juicy finish. If you like top-class, mature claret, you'll love it."
