  June 24, 2021 - OK...so this will not win any awards for complexity or depth, but it does not lack for place-laden substance or balance. Very good concentration, typical variety markers, and black earth. It held form over two days. Drink by 2025 or so. 89-90.

  November 1, 2017 - Château Saint-Paul 2014 - Wine with Liz Wheadon, Glengarry
  Saint-Paul is a 21-hectare vineyard in the left bank, sitting on a mix of clay and gravel soil. The 21 hectares cover one parcel of land; the plantings are dominated by Merlot and average 25 years. Saint-Paul sits in a prime location between Sociando-Mallet and Charmail. The wine is classified as a Cru Bourgeois and is Merlot dominant; there’s a very good core of concentrated juicy red fruit, with a tight yet generous nature to the leathery tannins. The length is long, persistent and concentrated to the finish. A very smart Cru Bourgeois that currently has Stéphane Derenoncourt as its consultant, following a direction change in 2009 that saw Saint-Paul head for quality. In doing so there’s been a move to organic and far better selection, all of which you can see very clearly in the glass. Annual production is 7,500 cases. This was a real find; RRP is $29.99. Excellent value for money from a lovely elegant vintage.

  October 31, 2016 - Cru Bourgeois 2014 tasting: savvy consumers take note (Office of the Alliance de Cru Bourgeois, downtown Bordeaux): An improvement over the Real, but more ho-hum flat than engaging.
