Chateau La Bridane, Saint-Julien, France 2018 Sake Super pronounced and complex noseAppealing brambly fruit aromatics on the nose. On the palate it is measured and juicy, with brambled blueberry and raspberry fruits. Rustic in an unfussy way, with good structure and a real sense of uplift. Hard to find St Julien like this anymore, and although it is not polished it has so much going for it. Cabernet Franc also in the blend here. 92 Pts Decanter
