  Pnp, with Ryan after the 18 Maybach Amoenus. Black cherry, blackberry fruits integrated nicely with earth, graphite with mild integrated tannins. Nice follow-up to the bolder Amoenus.

  Opened this towards the latter portion of a holiday party when one of the guests who is learning about wine and very much enjoying Bordeaux asked about "tobacco" flavor in wine. She said she had not noted that in wine before. So, I decided to get something out I knew had a pretty profound tobacco element right on first pour even though it's a bit early in the drinking window. The 2010 St. Pierre is a massively structured wine with elements that I previously described in prior notes. I didn't even have time to decant it as those who were still drinking red wine made their way through it really fast while I was attending to other guests! I tasted a sip and thought it was a great bottle but can't say much more. Clearly, a crowd pleaser which is not always the case with St. Julien. Drank after 2015 Malescot and a couple of other younger wines from right bank. If you don't get some tobacco out of this one, you never will. Of course lots of other flavors and aromatic notes. Some sediment which a couple of people got a bit of with their last sip because they poured it so fast and it was gone before i even had time to decant the second half of the bottle! Lots of dark fruit and not terribly tannic but will be much better with more time in the cellar. Excellent with no decant but should have been filtered! 94-95

  At a "Cabernet from around the world night" with my wine group, at a NYC Steakhouse. We had in order, 2010 Château Saint-Pierre, 2012 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain, 2013 Figgins Estate Red Wine, and the 2018 Montepeloso Gabbro Toscana IGT. All were opened, but not decanted for at least 45 minutes before pouring. 7 of us had the O'Shaughnessy as their favorite with one going with the Saint-Pierre. I think if all of us gave the wines numerical scores, everyone's numbers would have been between 96 and 91. An outstanding tasting! Personally, I had the Saint-Pierre as my 2nd favorite, a hair ahead of the Figgins. The S-P was much more restrained and elegant than the rest of the wines and it is a treat to have it with food.

  Decanted twice over 4 hours, still continues to open, agree to wait as long as possible, it is excellent now with decanting but the feel is that it is still resolving some oak, rich and decked out, aromas of pine, graphite and cassis lead into the full bodied experience featuring palate nuances of salty plum, tobacco, earth and cherry, long finish, classic mouthfeel, flamboyant and delicious, great match with prime rib and au jus

  glorious fruit, massive structure and great length. This is, however no-where near ready to drink. I'll try the next in 7-10 years.
