Saint Pierre 2003 USA The spicy 1988 Fonsalette CotesBeefy, masculine, vigorous, full bodied wine, the 2003 Saint Pierre is just beginning to hit full maturity. A lovely bouquet of cedarwood, forest floor, roasted herbs, black currants, new saddle leather and spice is followed by a long, well made, beefy, rich, voluptuously textured wine with low acidity and ripe tannin. Drink it over the next 7 8 years. RP 92+
