  Sadly, not really doing it for me in this vintage. I quite liked the 08, which was excellent in a restrained, mineral, un-fruity way, but the warmth of 09 has done weird/unsuccessful things to this wine. The alc is listed at 13.5, and can be felt slightly on the nose and in the fruit on the palate. The wine has a light body, but without the grace and definition that made the style work in 08. Simple and un-charming, I'm hoping that it just needs either a few months to settle (a new-ish release from Rosenthal, who's always a couple vintages behind on this producer, I don't know whether for their reasons or Prudhon's), or a few years to fill out, as on the second day it was showing a little more charm and juiciness. I suppose it could also just be bottle variation. Will re-try later this year.
