Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Saint-Pierre (Pomerol) rolls out of the glass with open-knit notions of prunes, blackberry preserves and Black Forest cake, plus touches of licorice, garrigue and unsmoked cigars. The medium to full-bodied palate is chock-full of ripe black fruits and earthy accents, framed by grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a mineral note.
