  "Blackcurrants, graphite, crushed stone, and liquid violet notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Saint-Pierre (Saint-Julien), another deeply colored, powerful, full-bodied Saint-Julien. Coming from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It's going to stand with the truly greats from not only this terroir but the entire Médoc."

  "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. Drink from 2029."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "The initial blast of dark, red berries with black cherries, flowers, and spice leads the way to the wine's wealth of sweet, ripe, fruit on the palate, finishing with lush, rounded textures, espresso, and a hint of dark chocolate. The wine blends 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. Drink from 2028-2050."

  "High Cabernet Sauvignon in a vintage where this grape ripened fully, and it really comes across in the intense but savoury character of the blue and black fruit. Chalky edge to the tannins, intense and vivid sage and clove spices, crushed rocks, ink and crayon."

  Weinwisser
  "80 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 % Merlot, 6 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot, 13.9 Vol.-%, 34 hl/ha. Tiefgründiges Bouquet, frisch gepflückte Alpenheidelbeere, dunkles Edelholz, Veilchen und Holundergelee. Am komplexen, durchtrainierten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, balancierter Rasse, engmaschigem Tanningerüst und edlem mineralischen Kern. Im konzentrierten, langanhaltenden Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, tiefschürfende Terroirwürze und erhabene Adstringenz. Fast auf dem gleichen Niveau wie 2020, 2019 und 2018. Bravo!"

  Falstaff
  "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Pflaumenfrucht, rote Kirschen sind unterlegt, ein Hauch von Mandarinenzesten. Saftig, engmaschig, reife Kirschen, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch und gut anhaftend, feine Pflaumenfrucht im Nachhall, zeigt Länge und Potenzial."

  Wine Spectator
  "Ripe and vivid, with plum, cassis and boysenberry notes spilling out. There's just enough singed apple wood and cast iron to keep this focused. Violet and anise accents chime in the background. A decidedly not-shy St.-Julien that captures this vintage profile nicely. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2040. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 6,500 cases made."
