Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with notes of red and black cherries, warm plums and freshly crushed black currants plus hints of violets, oolong tea, aniseed and tilled soil with a waft of garrigue. Medium-bodied, the palate struts tons of elegantly fragrant red and black fruit flavors with a firm backbone of ripe, grainy tannins and loads of freshness, finishing long and perfumed. This famous and historic Saint-Julien 2nd Grand Cru Clasé is popular throughout the world and is usually released at the most reasonable price of all the so-called “super-seconds”.
