Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 9, 2017 - Decanted for two hours. Powerful but fresh, concentrated but not flashy, not even a hint of surmaturité, excellent mineral drive, really vibrant in the context of such a rich vintage, complete and firm, energetic, perfectly integrated oak, lovely purity of fruit, excellent balance and length. True to type, interesting to compare it in the mind to the 2014 tasted on Monday, which is much lighter in style, but also a very characteristic expression of the terroir. Unlike the 2014 however, this 2009 is a 25-30 year wine.
