St Julien 4GCC. Nothing much happening here, should have decanted for a few hours. V closed nose, just a whiff of oak and cabernet. Swirling does not yield much more. On the palate slightly better, tannins are smooth and acid in check, but still struggling to find the fruit. Based on the good reviews for this wine, it might just be in a dumb phase at this moment. However, polished tannins and silky mouthfeel is promising (7.6/10).
