  A Magdelaine vertical where we got it all wrong. The warmth of the vintage came through as it was fruity and almost sickly sweet on the nose, really ripe fruits on the palate, a big intense wine. I prefer these with some age although we did think it was quite good. We also thought it was left bank 2014 so oops again.

  Candied cherry, a little short and lean on opening, it rounds out in fullness after a couple hours. Not nearly as “traditional” in this vintage as I would have imagined. Still remarkably good and built for the long haul.
  
  This grows and expands on day 2. Gains a little leafy note, but red cherry is the major feature

  This was somewhat disappointing given the vintage. Served blind and - with some doubt - guessed correctly to be right bank from a warm year. Decent merlot character but short of structure to tighten up this dark fruit. I am absolutely positive, that others will find greater pleasure in this than me, so I will stay away from this in the future.

  huge bouquet of blackberry and raspberry ; very aromatic ; silky and smooth .. we like it very much and suspect like so many other 2009 will get better over the next 10 years
  my wife thinks it is amazing and it should be rated 95
