The Wine Scoiety St Julien 2006

The Wine Society Exhibition St Julien 2006 is marketed at £18 and has many quality facets, it is is in fact Amiral de Beychevelle, the second wine of the classed growth. The deep ruby core has black tints, the dark fruit aromas are enriched by elegant spices and are all joined up - lead you into to taste with great anticipation. Black fruit, cedar box, sweet ripe tannins with silky velvet texture, on top of obvious structure and acidic backbone, all things that a good Bordeaux should exhibit - bang on!
The length did not disappoint, spice and fruit to the end. Overall a lovely wine at the price, so enjoy!
