2005 Chateau Saint-Pierre
Tasting Note:
Smart consumers should be checking out this estate whose wines have been superb over recent vintages. Under the same ownership as Gloria it is a classic St.-Julien with sensational concentration and intensity but more powerful thick and muscular than wines such as Ducru Beaucaillou or Beychevelle. The 2005 possesses the vintage_s structured tannic mouthfeel as well as enormous concentration and massive extract. It exhibits plenty of earthy creme de cassis intermixed with notes of forest floor licorice and roasted meats. Backward with huge tannin full body and the potential for 3-4 decades of aging this superb St.-Julien will get even better over the next 10-15 years. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2040.
