Chateau Saint Pierre 2010

  The Wine Advocate
  "The final blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot has resulted in a wine of great power, stature, gravitas and density. The wine has a black purple color and a brilliant nose of scorched earth, creme de cassis, espresso roast, blackberries, truffles and licorice. Full-bodied, extremely powerful, yet with abundant sweet tannin, this stunning effort should prove sensational if given 7-10 years of cellaring. It should also last for 30-40 years."

  "Sattes Purpur- Granat. Intensives Bouquet, Blutnoten wie bei einem Rhône-Wein, dunkelbeerige Frucht. Im Gaumen fest, dicht, mit sehr viel Fleisch und einer ausgeglichenen Adstringenz, viel Charakter, schwarze Kirschen und Lakritze im langen Finale. Könnte als 2010er der heimliche Superstar der Appellation sein."

  "Deceptively soft on attack but punches its fruit firmly into play within seconds, and hangs on right through the mid palate. Bilberry, cassis, sweet concentrated cherry coulis. From a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot, this is still a swaggeringly tannic wine, with a gorgeous display of liquorice spice. Barely opening up, one for the very long haul. Wonderful example of a Saint Julien wine that is increasingly making all the right moves."

  "The 2010 from Chateau Saint-Pierre is a straight up tour de force that’s an incredible value in today’s market. Inky colored, deep, rich and sensationally concentrated, yet also fresh and lively, it gives up tons of minerality in its graphite, chocolate covered black cherries, currants, scorched earth, and licorice aromas and flavors. It’s still a baby, yet the tannins are sweet, it has fabulous purity of fruit, and huge finish. Give bottles another 2-4 years and enjoy over the following 3-4 decades."

  "The 2010 Saint-Pierre is deep garnet in color. It flies out with open-knit, mature scents of cigar box, cast-iron pan, and dusty soil over a core of Christmas cake, figs, and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with evolved, muscular fruits, supported by firm, chewy tannins and lively acidity, finishing long and mineral-laced."
