Château Saint-Pierre
St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend
Very enjoyable Wednesday Wine Committee lunch today with @Weston Eidson & @Colby Siratt hosting. Same format as always...1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine all tasted blind.
This producer was new to me. Loved it! The nose has such dark fruit wrapped in smoked/chargrilled meats. Not overly savory and zero funk, but just a killer mesh of sweet and savory. Tobacco, graphite, cassis up front with a finish of blackberry pie, leather, and herbs de Provence. This could be a wonderful wine in 7-10yrs. I called this left bank 2012 vintage.

Very nice floral and fruited nose. Black cherry, black and red fruit together. Savory spices, oak, meaty. Enjoyable but expected more from a 2010.

Jul 6th, 2023We had the 2010 Vintage on 10/30-31/22. Wonderful bouquet of black cherry and graphite. Other comments talked about cedar. Black cherry, blueberry oak and spice on the palate. The tannins were smoothed out. Medium to full bodied. Plenty of fruit in this Old World wine. Very good.
