justerini & brooks tasting note

This was the undoubted star of the St Julien UGC tasting. Unlike many others, extractions seem to be spot on here; there is a real purity and intensity to the fruit that is very alluring, but it is the gentleness of the extractions that allows the fruit to sing over the tannins. The palate is awash with beautiful red and black berry flavours; mineral, yet clear with complex stony fruit notes. This is a very sleek, refined Gruaud with wonderful energy and freshness. Bravo. * It is worth noting that we tasted at the St Julien UGC at the end of a very long day. We felt that the samples were not necessarily representative. Our notes are an honest account of what we tasted, however, we are sure that the wines are much better than our notes suggest.
