Château Sainte Croix Saint Pierre (Red) 2023 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim
Semi-opaque ruby. Quite lifted perfumed aromas with a hint of struck match, spice and Syrah gunflint. Classic Syrah on the palate with some nice freshness, lots of crunchy red fruit and blackberries. Pretty acidity and chalky tannins. Blue minerality and a long saline, almost salty liquorice edginess. Elegant, very refreshing, crunchy, with garrigue, wild fennel and menthol.
