James Suckling

Very pretty and typical for the appellation with aromas of blackcurrants, violets and sandalwood that follow through to a full body with layers of polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Lasts a long time on the palate. Classic structure. Drink after 2027.

The nose is aromatic, racy and offers a racy power as well as a small intensity. It reveals notes of pulpy/ripe cassis, small black fruits, small notes of ripe strawberry associated with fine touches of blueberry, violet as well as fine hints of fresh cornflower, sweet spices, cardamom, black tea and spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous/juicy frame, a good definition, a very rich matter, concentration/power, juiciness, gourmandize as well as a fine tension, a fine racy minerality, a beautiful balance and a pulpy/ripe/dense fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of beautiful juicy/fresh black berries, crushed blackberry, small notes of crushed griotte associated with touches of crushed blueberry, juicy/fresh raspberry as well as hints of violet, chocolate, toasted and very fine hints of cardamom/tea. Good length. Tannins are racy, structuring and coating. A very discreet hint of dry almond on the persistence.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A fleshy, sensual wine, the 2019 Saint-Pierre bursts from the glass with aromas of cherries, blackberries, burning embers and subtle spices. Full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, it's seamless and polished, with a sweet core of fruit, melting tannins and succulent acids, concluding with a nicely defined finish. More overtly ripe than its stablemate Gloria, Saint-Pierre must be the most gourmand, immediate wine of Saint-Julien this year, and it's already drinking well on release.
