even in a hot vintage like 2017
the 2022 is an absolute jewel of a wine
2020 Chateau Saint Pierre Saint-Julien Barsac Laffitte-Carcasset is an especially delicate93 95 points, Vinous "The 2020 Saint Pierre (Saint Julien) is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Inky, rich and explosive, the 2020 possesses magnificent intensity from start to finish. Crme 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." Antonio
