2018 Chateau Saint-Pierre, St Julien, Bordeaux

HoldWell stockedVivino community 4.2/5

One of the few appellations which showed consistency across the board with many excellent wines being made. Last week’s release of Ch. Gruaud Larose may have polarised a few critics, however there is no denying that it is a generous, opulent and highly enjoyable wine to be drunk over the medium term. Worth comparing it against a case of Saint-Pierre in my opinion! “The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Saint-Pierre displays shy scents of rose hip tea, dried mint, crushed rocks and lavender to begin, opening out to a growing core of warm blackcurrants, baked blackberries and Morello cherries plus
