Coravin. Deep ruby, youthful color with only slight bricking, younger than expected for its age; aromatic, blackberry and blackcurrant, cedar, a bit of pipe tobacco, slight star anise; palate is full bodied, smooth and textural, alcohol is well balanced (13%), well integrated black fruits, a bit of capsicum, tannins fully integrated, persistent flavors through the midpalate; medium length finish which is a touch shorter than expected for this caliber of wine. A very well made St. Julien, at maturity though still with some character of youth, slightly modern-edged in its polish but well balanced overall. These seem ready in this format. 93
