CHATEAU DU GLANA SAINT JULIEN
Château du Glana Saint-Julien is a red wine blend made from the classic Bordeaux grape varieties, including 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. It is a wine that originates from the Saint-Julien region of Bordeaux, France. It is known for its distinct oak influence, gingerbread spices and toasted aroma backed by ripe dark berries. The wine has a good balance of tannins and acidity, with a smooth and long finish. Château du Glana Saint-Julien is a wine that pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and strong cheese.
CHATEAU DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU LA CROIX SAINT-JULIEN
The aroma has small black cherries, blueberry and wilted violets, the last becoming more intense as the initially tight-fisted wine opens in the glass. It is a medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin. There is very well-judged acidity and its texture is harmonious and silky smooth. While the finish, is loaded more in the mouth than on the nose at the moment, but it is a seriously classy “deuxième vin” that just needs a little more persistence on the finish.
CHATEAU LAROQUE SAINT EMILION
The Laroque is a blend of 99% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aging for around 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The alcohol is 14.5%. Displaying a deep purple-black color, it slowly unfurls in the glass to reveal fantastically opulent notes of Indian spices, rose oil, dark chocolate and licorice, over a core of blueberry preserves, stewed plums and mulberries, plus a hint of dried mint. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with layers of black and blue fruits, accented by exotic spices and supported by a racy backbone and velvety tannins, finishing long and perfumed.
