Score 91/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Jeb Dunnuck, Nov 2020

The 2009 Château Saint-Pierre (Pomerol) comes from vines next to Vieux Château Certan (and Le Pin) and is almost all Merlot. Showing classic Pomerol elegance and silkiness, it's not a blockbuster, but it has wonderful complexity in its redcurrant, tobacco, truffly earth, chocolate, and floral aromas and flavors. Playing in the medium-bodied end of the spectrum, it offers silky, light tannins, moderate acidity, and just a graceful, lightly textured, balanced style that makes it a joy to drink. I like it today, yet it should certainly evolve for another decade.

Tasted at the Pomerol Syndicate tasting. Not the Saint Julien property of the same name, this comes across as a tad over-ripe on the nose, whilst the tannins are rather dry. Not a terrible Pomerol by a long shot, just a little ordinaire.
