Chateau Saint-Pierre, Saint-Julien, France 2013

"The 2013 Château Saint-Pierre should not be overlooked and it is a Saint-Julien that surpassed my expectations. It has a delightful, fresh, simple nose that deserves to be shipped straight to a gentleman's club down St. James Street. Classic Claret in other words. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well judged acidity, harmonious and balanced with a nicely poised, simple but effective, citrus-fresh and rounded finish. Enjoy this over the next decade." - 88 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

"This wine is dark and extracted, with bitter chocolate flavors as well as hints of black-currant fruit. It does have weight and structure that could develop, but will need time, so wait until 2020." - Wine Enthusiast
