Tasted blind. Deepest crimson. Leafy and open with cassis fruit and bud. More refined than most of the St-Julien 2020s tasted today in terms of tannic texture, elegance, length and harmony. (JH)

The 2020 Saint-Pierre has a well-defined, very precise bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and touches of bay leaf and loam. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a keen line of acidity, lightly spiced with a vivid, white-pepper-tinged finish. Delightful and gentle. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
The 2020 Saint-Pierre is a rich, dramatic wine bursting with aromas of blackberries, blueberry liqueur, anise, clove and brown sugar. Medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, it's generous and enveloping, with a ripe core of fruit, succulent acids and powdery tannins that discreetly assert themselves on the finish. The wine's creamy, fruit-driven profile belies its comparatively moderate 13.3% alcohol.
