Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Saint Pierre 2020 Saint Julien :
Deep purple-black in color, the 2020 Saint-Pierre bursts with baked blackberries, stewed plums and cassis, followed by hints of dried mint, chocolate box and tapenade with a waft of pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled with impressive freshness and ripe, fine-grained tannins supporting the energetic black fruits, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. The blend is 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, aging for around 14 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. The alcohol is 13.3%.
James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Saint Pierre 2020 Saint Julien Folgendes:
A firm, very structured wine from here, with intense tannins that are very polished and long. Pure fruit. One of the best in a long time.
Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Saint Pierre:
The 2020 Saint-Pierre has a distinctly Pauillac-like nose with veins of graphite and mint infusing the black fruit, focused and full of tension. This is very classy. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins that belie the structure underneath. It has good grip, and comes across quite strict and correct. If I am to quibble, and quibble I will, it maybe doesn’t finish with the fireworks that I have noticed on other recent superlative vintages. Perhaps that might develop in barrel. If so, it will warrant a higher score.
Vom Falstaff-Magazin mit 92-94 Punkten bewertet
Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Edelholznuancen, schwarze Beerenfrucht nach Cassis und Brombeeren, etwas Nougat unterlegt. Stoffig, reife dunkle Frucht, feine Süße, reife Tannine, mineralisch unterlegt, bleibt gut haften, vielversprechendes Entwicklungspotenzial.
