Tasting note
Saint-Julien Cabernet Sauvignon should open with cassis, black cherry and a lifted scent of cedar and herbs. The 2019 Grand Vin is expected to feel concentrated and finely structured, with firm tannins surrounding the fruit and fresh acidity carrying it through a long palate. Its window begins in 2027, followed by peak years from 2029 through 2053 and a horizon to 2063; the finish should slowly reveal darker, more savory detail.
