Estimate
...Full of ripe fruits and generous tannins. Juicy acidity gives it a fresh lift typical of the year, although this wine has a depth of flavor that promises well...
The palate is medium-bodied with gently grippy tannin, good acidity and structure, not complex but with a very impressive blackberry and cassis finish that lingers in the mouth. Chapeau Monsieur Cuvelier - one of the best Saint Juliens this vintage.
...Medium-bodied richness, lovely notes of cassis, smoky oak, and violets, moderate tannins, and notable purity and finesse...
Shows good energy, with a vibrant, brambly spine that drives the plum cake, steeped currant and licorice flavors along. A solid bolt of singed apple wood pins down the finish...
Plums, blueberries, cassis, violets and sweet spices meld together nicely...fleshy, textured finish offers plenty of near and medium-term appeal...plenty of depth but also imposing tannins...
...Ripe and dark fruited. Deep, dry and elegant as well as powerful – without being tough. Dense and still balanced. Firm, chewy and promising.
