Product Description
The 2009 Château Saint-Pierre was aged in 55% new oak. Robert Parker junior described it as “the all time greatest wine I have ever tasted from Saint Pierre.”
Tasting Notes
Vinous 93
Bright medium ruby. Lovely violet lift to the aromas of cassis, blackberry, cedar, minerals and licorice. Supple and sweet on entry, then tight and vibrant in the middle, with strong acidity currently keeping the wine’s redcurrant and mineral flavors under wraps. Most impressive today on the gripping, mineral-driven finish, which features substantial fine-grained tannins and terrific rising length. Hold this for 6 years, then enjoy it over the following 15.
Robert Parker 96
Medium to deep garnet in color, the 2009 Saint-Pierre displays maturing notes of creme de cassis, blackberry pie and prunes with hints of cardamom, fennel and star anise. Full-bodied, concentrated and jam-packed with black fruit preserves and fantastic freshness to balance, it has a firm, grainy texture and very long, exotic spice finish.
