Alex Hunt: 77

Andrew Jefford: Dark purple-red. Sweet, warm, with a soft eiderdown of sour-cherry fruit. Very soft yet ample in the mouth, too, filled with that billowing, dripping, primary sour cherry; then right at the end of the palate you discover that there are some tarry tannins to provide sustenance and support. Huge fun and delicious St-Amour. 90

Peter Liem: This is dark in tone and sleek in build, showing a concentrated depth and an elegant structure. It’s subtle and fragrant on the finish, with a persistent length. 89
