  2009 is drinking well right now. Precise, ripe raspberry on the nose, great fruit freshness (still) with well balanced integrated mellow tannins. Finish is a little short my only quibble.

  Initially closed, showing mostly oolong tea and sassafras oak notes. The palate reflects the warm vintage with soft mulled red fruit and expensive leather on the palate and lowish acidity. No doubt this will improve, but this bottle today shows like an elegant California pinot noir, and it's pretty far from what I want from Cote de Nuits grand cru.
  On day 2 this is prettier with subtle hints of star anise, and on day 3 it's downright lovely with an exotic spice component moving to the front, and relatively more svelte profile. This clearly has better days ahead.

  Still shows that deep black cherry fruit with a real sap to it. Anise/licorice and herbal snap to the edges of the fruit. The structure is well hidden but the acids provide good shape. A "hedonistic" Burgundy that expands on the palate with air where some spices and flowers lace the fruit. While this drinks well now (one of the reasons I like Geantet) there is plenty more to come in the future. I have no idea when I'll drink the next bottle, probably when I get a whim. I would bet that it's apogee is 7-10 years away but the fun it displays now means you won't be bummed to try it now if you have a few.

  This was better than last year's showing in that it was a little more open and a little more gentle. Doesn't have the sheer fruit of the 2012 but shows a fine earth and mineral bead. Lovely.

  This showed more like the 2005, except maybe more closed in on itself and tannic. Air helped it spread out, but it doesn't seem to want to be fully open quite yet. I was hoping to catch it in an open phase as many 2009s can be. The fruit is dark and rich with that mineral, animal earth and a hint of bark that I get from Geantet's Charmes. I really like the shape of the fruit in these wines. I broke my own rule and bought this and the 2012 at a recent HDH auction. I justified it because they were original unbroken cases and since no one cares about Geantet, I had hoped that I would be the second owner. The bottles were in great shape and this one seemed totally correct. Looking forward to re-visiting in 3-5 years.
