I had a string of bad bottles but this one was in great shape - pretty, high-toned candied notes but with some tertiary earth notes, medium weight across the palate - finish is a bit short give the lighter acidity in 2009. Decent

Dark fruit, earth, pepper, musk, hints of strawberry. herbs. Damp autumn mist. Bramble and herbs on the palate with enough acidity still. Soft chalky tannins. Lovely soft fading finish. Opened two other bottles of this and found them over the hill.

Dinner at Tonny. PnP'ed (blinded). Wonderful bouquet of dark-cherries, tea, bits of forest-floor/autumn-leaves & some spice reminded me of a wine that's just starting to gain some secondary development... but palate seemed to indicate otherwise, with primary flavours of dark/blue-berries, herbs & more spices. Still extremely youthful with a nice tannin-structure holding up the wine. Good depth & concentration & a medium-long finish. Most guessed a Burg at the 1er-cru level. It'll be extremely interesting to see how this develops further with more cellar age.

Last bottle - delicious. Obviously aged but no traces of tiredness. Red fruited beauty. Medium long. Drink now but no danger of falling off a cliff. Excellent.
