Chateau Saint-Pierre 2012

Professionelle Bewertungen

James Suckling (90)

Blackcurrant, ripe plum and cedar character to this red on the nose, before giving way to a full to medium body, refined yet firm tannins and good acidity.

Jancis Robinson (16)

Tasted blind. Savoury and evolved nose. Polished tannins with a suggestion of oak and sweetness on the palate. Easy-peasy, user-friendly. (JR)

Rene Gabriel (17)

Rich purple garnet, dense in the center, with a purple shimmer on the outside. A mineral bouquet, subtle turpentine notes and traces of truffle, with ripe plums behind them. On the palate, it's surprisingly full-bodied with rounded tannins; the tannins are subtly floury in the extract and support the body. This will be—as so often in recent years—a very good Saint Julien.

Falstaff (91)

Dark ruby ​​garnet, violet reflections, delicate brightening of the rim, fresh cassis, blackberry confit, a hint of precious wood, nougat undertones, and tobacco notes. Medium-bodied, red berry fruit, fresh structure, minerality, lively style, with some length.

Wine Enthusiast (94)

This is a solid effort that showcases both great blackberry fruit and sweet tannins right at the forefront. There is also fine acidity and a layer of wood that gives a dry, firm, age-worthy aftertaste.
