Tasting notes
Excellent depth on the nose, with iodine, dark minerals, white pepper and ripe black plums. The tannins are dusty and open-grained on the full-bodied palate, but get dissipated in the lengthy finish. Already soft-grained and enjoyable. Drinkable now, but better in two years when it develops more savoriness and complexity.

On the floral side, the wine is elegant, supple, lush and polished, with layers of silky plums, dark chocolate, black cherries and licorice. Texturally, the wine offers layers of fruit, with refined tannins. The plummy finish is polished and fresh. Drink from 2025-2040.
Deep, meaty and structured with full body and layers of fine-grained tannins, which are polished and velvety. Complex and long with a deep core of dark fruit. This is under the radar and has small plots near Le Pin and La Fleur Petrus.
The cellar of Saint-Pierre is right next to the Pomerol church, and is turning up the intensity in 2022, with fragrant sandalwood, concentrated damson and cassis fruitsn and liqourice. A ton of character, bitter on the finish, veers towards too much, needs more time in ageing. Stephane Derenoncourt consultant. 50% new oak (225l and 500L) 45% one year old barrels and 5% amphora.
