Lot #831. Chateau St. Jean Merlot Reserve 1993

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 90 RP.
"The most noticeable improvements at St. Jean can be seen in the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon program. The Merlot Reserve bottlings spend 36 months in barrel, of which 50% are new. I thought all four vintages I tasted of the Merlot Reserve were potentially outstanding wines. The 1993 Merlot Reserve is a full-bodied, lush, opulent, dense, chocolate/black cherry fruit-driven wine that is both mouthfilling and concentrated . . . . The Reserve Merlots are all made in limited quantities of about 400 cases." Wine Advocate #114, Dec 1997
Provenance: The Grand Prix Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $170
