This far exceeded expectations and was a classic '09, rich but not heavy, good classic cab character, earthy leather and tabocco with ripe cassis. Very tasty and in a very good spot now. MD, L, KN in PD

Drank a magnum over a week's period. First night was coarse and tannic with bold flavors of dark fruits and chocolate. Improved each day to smooth, creamy texture on the last night. Still fruity with tobacco notes on the last night.

Oh you know... just emptying out my cellar. The 2009 Saint-Paul was decent; the awesome 2009 vintage showed well. Good weight from start to finish with slight barnyard. Decent QPR at $20.
I tried the remaining half 6 days later in vacuum seal and it actually improved, which was quite surprising.
