The medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Merlot Domaine St. Pierre reveals sweet black fruit and spice aromas. It is medium-bodied, extracted, and concentrated. This blackberry, spice, tar, and grilled herb-flavored wine is a serious, foursquare, juicy Merlot. Projected maturity: now-2004. Bravo! to Georges Duboeuf for this impressive line-up of wines, and for the fact that he has remained true to his goal of delivering high quality at consumer friendly prices.
