All but one of these had such gorgeous nose, I would literally be sniffing from the glass for minutes before taking a sip. Of the wines I had tasted before in April I tended to score them higher then. Two of the bottles were corked. It's becomign clear that Thomas is my preferred brother. My favorite of the 2009s was the Thomas Morey Vide Bourse, which showed just as well the next day.
