The 2009 was certainly the result of a warm vintage, yet it carried itself with poise and balance. The nose was dark and rich with mentholated dark red fruits, cardamom, cinnamon, brown sugar, sweet roses and the slightest hint of volatility. On the palate, I found juicy textures, mixing ripe black fruits with brisk acids and minerals, in a ripe yet perfectly balanced expression. The finish was medium in length, as saturating tart black fruits, licorice and dark inner florals tones lingered.
