2022 Chateau Saint-Pierre, Saint-Julien, France (750ml) Netherlands earth-laced fruits whose flavors lingerTASTING NOTES: A posh, sophisticated St. Julien that manages to maintain freshness, nuanced complexity and class in a hot year. In fact, this is one of the best Saint Pierres. Layered and poised, with lots of minerals, dark berries and pencil shavings, followed by fresh, firm and polished tannins. The finish goes on for almost a minute. Really exciting, even for the 2022, when a lot of the wines from the left bank did really well. James Suckling, 97
