Château Saint-Pierre - 2008 - St-Julien Château L'Evangile 32% Merlot and 5% PetitRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : As I predicted from barrel, this stunning effort is a wine to buy by the case. Its opaque ruby purple color is followed by aromas of graphite, barbecue smoke, blackberries and black currants. The full bodied, textured 2008 Saint Pierre reveals a skyscraper like mouthfeel along with tremendous viscosity and unctuosity. One of the richest and potentially longest lived 2008s, it is a fabulous sleeper of the vintage. Drink
