  NOSE
  Intensity: medium- to medium
  It was a lot more faint than I would have expected. I had a lot of trouble picking up the scents.
  Cigar, tobacco, tar, cassis, pencil shavings, dates tiny bit of cured meat
  
  PALATE
  Body: medium
  Acidity: medium+
  Intensity: medium+
  Bitter, soil, tobacco, hint of strawberry and hint of plum
  Towards the end, some dates
  
  TEXTURE
  Tannins: medium+
  Comfortable, polished tannins. Smooth.
  
  BALANCE
  Everything well integrated. The structure was the best part of the wine. With all the flavours and scents being subdued, the overall balance and structure was what stood out.
  
  COMPLEXITY
  There were small and subtle changes over 4 hours. Didn't feel there was any drop off by the end 4 hours.
  
  FINISH
  Length: medium
  Smokey aftertaste, cigar
  
  CONCLUSION
  Readiness: Drink now. Can put in cellar for a few more years.
  This was my second bottle of the same vintage. The first bottle I had was more flavourful, so I was a little disappointed with this bottle. If you like powerful flavours, avoid this vintage of Saint-Pierre. But for me, I wouldn't mind having a few bottles in my cellar.

  Tasted next to 2015. The oak is more present in comparison, decent fruit, more herbal and mineral, green pepper on the nose. On the palate quite round and well balanced, lots of acidity, slightly drying tannins, medium length. 88-90

  UCGB tasting Bordeaux 2013 (Amsterdam): More full bodied than Gloria. Also dark berries, good oak, green bell pepper, good acidity and sticky tannin. Wait until 2024+. 88 - 89
