Chateau Saint-Pierre 2016 (RP: 94+)

酒莊在17世紀成立，之後發生過一些事情令它分裂，但經過一系列的努力和堅毅不屈的精神，Henri Martin 在1982年成功把這些村落連繫在一起，就像在著名的分級年分1855年時一樣。其後，多得擁有者的投資，Saint-Pierre已成為人們推崇，可代表 Saint Julien 產區中的 Grand Cru Classe。

(Robert Parker's rating: 94+ points):
50%於新橡木桶，50%於法國舊橡木桶各自陳釀14個月。以73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot,  6% Cabernet Franc混釀而成。色澤如石檔般呈紫紅色。從杯中湧出濃郁的黑森林蛋糕、黑莓蜜餞和黑加侖子的香味，並帶有淡淡的雪茄、泥土、紫羅蘭和一絲鐵礦石的味道。酒體中等，單寧帶有顆粒感，充滿活力和深度，餘韻以悠長的朱古力味作結。

The estate was created in the 17th century although a number of legacies subsequently led to it being split up and dispersed. Through a combination of good luck and tenacity, in 1982 Henri Martin was able to put the estate back together the way it had been in 1855, the year of the famous classification. Ever since, thanks to the investments made by the owners, Saint-Pierre has been acknowledged by everyone as a perfect representative of the Grands Crus Classés of the prestigious Saint-Julien appellation.

Tasting Notes: 
(Robert Parker's rating: 94+ points):
Aged for 14 months in 50% new and 50% one-year-old French oak and blended of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Saint-Pierre leaps from the glass with exuberant Black Forest cake, blackberry compote and cassis with hints of cigars, earth and violets with a waft of iron ore. Medium-bodied, the palate has a firm frame of grainy tannins with fantastic energy and depth, finishing on a lingering chocolaty note.
