2006 Chateau Saint Pierre
Description
Smart consumers should be checking out this estate whose wines have been superb over recent vintages. Under the same ownership as Gloria, it is a classic St.-Julien with sensational concentration and intensity, but more powerful, thick, and muscular than wines such as Ducru Beaucaillou or Beychevelle. The 2005 possesses the vintage’s structured, tannic mouthfeel as well as enormous concentration and massive extract. It exhibits plenty of earthy creme de cassis intermixed with notes of forest floor, licorice, and roasted meats. Backward with huge tannin, full body, and the potential for 3-4 decades of aging, this superb St.-Julien will get even better over the next 10-15 years. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2040.

Tasting note
2006年的聖皮爾古堡，這款四級酒莊的佳釀，位於聖朱利安產區，是對1855年著名分級制度的歷史重塑的見證。這款有機葡萄酒呈深紅寶石色，散發著細膩的黑醋栗和雪松橡木香氣，口感上帶有新鮮的黑醋栗風味和淡淡的青草味。結構堅實，單寧細膩豐富，酸度清新，酒精帶來溫暖的感覺。餘韻悠長，使這款酒在其嚴謹的優雅中顯得格外吸引人。建議開瓶醒酒一小時，與烤羊肉、烤牛排或陳年乳酪搭配飲用，風味更佳。
The 2006 Chateau Saint-Pierre, a Fourth Growth from the esteemed Saint-Julien appellation, is a testament to the meticulous reformation of the estate to its historical 1855 classification. This organic wine, with its deep ruby-red hue and delicate cassis and cedary oak aromas, offers a palate of fresh blackcurrant flavors with a hint of green. The structure is robust, featuring plentiful fine tannins and a fresh acidity, while the alcohol provides a warming sensation. The finish is lengthy, making this wine attractive in its austere elegance. It is recommended to decant for an hour before serving, and it pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, grilled steak, or aged cheeses.
