Decanter 90
Rich, fully expressive on the nose with bramble fruit, some toasty notes, quite ripe fruit and perfumed tones. Good acidity to fruit ratio - crisp and juicy red berry fruit with relatively lean and tight but fine tannins which give the frame - nice direction from start to finish. Linear and well defined. Not so deep, but there's power and a long length. Solid performance. It's on the lean side, but I like the styling. Ageing 12 months, one third new oak, one third one year barrels, one third two year barrels. 10-12% press wine.

Still in barrel, showing delicious clove spices alongside raspberry fruits, oak dominant right now but that is expected during ageing, and plenty of fruit to balance it out, more proof of how well St Julien has done in this vintage.

The 2023 Amiral de Beychevelle is a very serious second wine. A blast of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, creme de cassis, spice and mocha infuse the 2023 with gorgeous textural depth. Plush, silky tannins wrap it all together. This is a charmer, that much is obvious.
