Awards/Ratings
Bottle is fully mature; merchant/auction notes describe it as drinking now with tertiary character. Vintage copies listed by merchants give no prominent modern critic score

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.

Food Pairing
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.

Vineyard Info
