I purchased my first case of 1982 Château de Pitray at Calvert Woodley in 1983, and enjoyed every bottle over the next 5 years. As memorable as the '82 was, the 2009 is immensely more impressive and delicious. -- Ben Giliberti
My introduction to this wine was the excellent 1982, and the 2009 is probably the finest Pitray yet made. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by copious aromas of crushed rocks, red and black currants, and a hint of kirsch. Medium-bodied and loaded with fruit with impressive glycerin and lushness, it offers a lot of flavor for its humble appellation and price point. (Tasted once.)
