Chateau Saint-Pierre Saint-Julien 2014

Chateau Saint-Pierre Saint-Julien 2014Jane Anson, JaneAnson. com 94 points This vintage always benefits in a vertical from coming after the 2013, but no question that this is a excellent wine with dark fleshy fruits and slate textured tannins. Confident powerful, nuanced, rich, balanced. A signature St Julien vintage, with smoked cigar box from the opening notes, balanced but expands and rises from the mid palate onwards. 50% new oak.

5% alcohol content and it has a great sweet taste of grapefruit and also contain a little bit of sourness

fresh coconut shavings

giving way to a long finish

100% Cabernet

Love the wet-earth and berry character on the finish

In the mouth it is delicate

revealing a dense purple hue to go with a stacked bouquet of crème de cassis

The resulting single malt has a rich and smooth taste

thanks in part to the use of Orcadian peat in the distillery floor maltings and the employment of ex-sherry casks for maturation

sweet mocha and spice

a slice of chocolate cake

vanilla and butterscotch
