Inky, rich and explosive, the 2020 possesses magnificent intensity from start to finish. Crème de cassis, lavender, spice, chocolate, licorice, graphite and menthol infuse the 2020 with striking depth. The 2020 is heady and unctuous, but not at all overdone. It is one of my early favorites in this vintage, within its peer group. Tasted two times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93-95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAntonio Galloni - Vinous\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA firm, very structured wine from here, with intense tannins that are very polished and long.

Lots of black and blue fruits, crushed stone, and graphite define the nose, and it's full-bodied, with a great mid-palate, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to need time to integrate its oak, but the purity of fruit, quality of the tannins, and balance are all spot on. Tasted twice with consistent notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94-96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeductive, with loads of ripe, dark, fresh, polished, earthy, black currants, cedar, toasty oak, licorice and spice. The wine is soft, polished, fresh and focused, leaving you with layers of deep ripe fruits, a touch of coffee bean, cocoa and currants. This should age and evolve for 25 years or more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93-95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KC0125","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41426779537471,"sku":"BRWN FR L4a","price":218.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/7674\/7071\/files\/large_compare__product-39998-a9e40422-e4d4-4b11-881a-023021fa86a3.jpg?v=1738069110"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cellarlinkauctions.com\/collections\/chateau-saint-pierre.oembed","provider":"Cellar Link Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
