Tasting Note
Mature Saint‑Julien: tertiary leather, tobacco, dried black cherry, cedar, forest floor and subtle spice. Medium-bodied with softened tannins and an earthy, savory finish.

Roast lamb, braised beef, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses; Asian: Peking duck, Cantonese roast pork (char siu), soy‑braised short ribs.
Production Method
Left‑bank Bordeaux vinification: destemmed grapes, parcel fermentation, then ~12–18 months in oak barrels; prolonged bottle aging has produced tertiary development.
