Decanter: "Gorgeous aromatics on the nose, deep, dark floral scents and black fruit. Supple but richly textured, grippy and fresh, so bright and crystalline. Really pure but there’s grip to the tannins that gives this a wide expression. Not so Pomerol like in terms of its structure - less plush more straight but there’s finesse here with underlying power. Nicely constructed and presented. A little funnelled towards the finish with a real salty, graphite and liquorice tang. Restrained and graceful. Ageing in 58% new oak (225l and 500l), 31% one year barrels and 11% amphora."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "The 2023 Saint-Pierre is deep garnet-purple in color. It is quite closed to start, needing considerable swirling to bring out notes of fresh black and red currants, licorice, and charcoal, plus hints of dried roses and fallen leaves. The medium-bodied palate is tightly knit, with bright black and red berry flavors and fine-grained tannins, finishing fragrant. Very pretty!"

James Suckling: "This has a super-refined and silky tannin structure. Tastes pure and pristine, with notes of blackberries, violets and a touch of chocolate. Medium-bodied with a firm finish."

Vinum: "Tabak und dunkle Frucht dominieren, mineralische Töne schwingen mit; fein verwobene Gerbstoffe, knackige Frucht, viel Charme und wunderbare Länge. Elegant!"
