This is fantastic, offering lots of fresh tobaccoand blackcurrants and undertones of hazelnuts and chocolate. Full-bodied withfirm and chewy tannins, yet ever so polished and refined. One of the moststructured St. Pierre’s in years. A blend of 73 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 21per cent merlot and six per cent cabernet franc.
【Robert Parker 94-96 pts】
The 2016 Chateau Saint-Pierre is a blend of 73%Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc picked between 29September and 3 October for the Merlot and 5-17 October for the CabernetSauvignon. The wine is matured is 50% new oak. The Cabernet comes throughstrongly on the nose as you would expect: quite intense black fruit, graphiteand just a touch of dried herbs. There is lovely definition and focus ondisplay. The palate is well balanced with grainy tannin, a crisp line ofacidity, classic in style in keeping with the style of the vintage with veryfine mineralité and tension towards the sprightly finish. It is one of the mostPauillac-like Château Saint-Pierres that I have tasted, a very well crafted,almost understated but sophisticated wine that will age for 20 to 30 years.This is a fantastic Saint Julien that may well rest at the top of my bandedscore.

The 2016 Saint-Pierre has an intriguing bouquet ofbaked black cherries, dark chocolate, espresso and gamy notes, the oak regimemore prominent compared to its peers within this Saint-Julien flight. Thepalate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, and the oak is more assimilated herethan on the nose. Nicely detailed and very poised, although there is a touch ofdryness right on the finish.

Ripe and fruity while also having just the rightamount of structure, this is a concentrated wine. It has depth and fine,elegant acidity.
