Below are my tasting notes for the wines of Saint-Julien. A really lovely UGC flight – arguably even more consistent, in the context of this vintage – than usual. Certainly the most consistent appellation in 2006 by a mile.
Background comments appear in italics.
As usual, the wines are listed alphabetically within appellation, ignoring words such as le, la, les, de, du, des, Château and Clos.
+ means that I expect the wine to gain stature with time
- means the opposite
? means I am much less sure than usual of my verdict
