2006 CHÂTEAU SAINT PIERRE 4ème Cru Classé Saint Julien

2006 CHÂTEAU SAINT PIERRE 4ème Cru Classé Saint Julien

Grapes: Origin: France, Bordeaux
Lea & Sandeman review
Saint Pierre may have trouble getting as well-known as its Saint Julien peers, but since M. di Costanzo (ex technical director at Cos) arrived here in 2000, they have not put a foot wrong - the vintages 2001 onwards have been faultless, and 2006 continues the series and may be the best yet. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very good deep colour. Very sweet and supple, with the tannins really well-enveloped. Full - this has lovely weight - old vine intensity and sweet fruit roundness, spice and complexity. Fresh and dry but the overriding impression is of complete ripeness. Enormously attractive. 92/100

Other reviews and comments
Marvelous density of colour, really pure and seductive. Floral, fragrant fruit with flesh and depth. Fine terroir, pure St-Julien. 2013-15. **** www.decanter.com
Full-bodied, with firm, slightly austere and chewy tannins. Medium finish. 89-91/100 James Suckling, The Wine Spectator
A little more fruit concentration on the nose than Gloria. The palate is medium-bodied, toasty, with firm, dry tannins. A better finish than I expected with blackberry leaf, tobacco and a touch of liquorish. 81-83/100 Neal Martin's Wine Journal, erobertparker.com
A terrific success for this small, somewhat under the radar St.-Julien, St.-Pierre's 2006 exhibits an inky/blue/purple color in addition to a beautiful bouquet of sweet black cherries, black currants, graphite, toasty oak, and earth. Made in a surprisingly fat, opulent style, it possesses abundant fruit and glycerin as well as a heady, long finish. This stunning wine should firm up in bottle, and drink well for two decades or more. 92-94/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Richer than the Gloria with breadth of ripe fruit. Very chewy on the finish but serious and savoury. 2015-21 16+ Jancis Robinson MW OBE - www.JancisRobinson.com
Ruby-red. Sexy aromas and flavors of black- and redcurrant, menthol, licorice and nutty oak, lifted by a violet topnote. Supple, classically dry and quite concentrated, with juicy acidity giving cut to the flavors and extending the finish. A sound tannic spine should ensure at least two decades of development in bottle for this very suave Saint-Julien. This has turned out very well. 91/100 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
