Tasted by coravin. Seems very young. Lots of sweet vanilla, firm tannins and dark fruit somewhat in the background. Would definitely decant if drinking in near future. Hoping for better in the future.

Second bottle since 2016, I liked it a tad better this time.
1,5h decant, which was too short as it further improved while drinking. Blackish colour. Lovely Bordeaux nose.
Regarding the palate I mostly agree with Parker (see below). In addition I got blackberries, oak, tobacco, some leather and a very long finish. The 2009 is still very young, it should do well in the next decade, maybe even in the one after that...

Last bottle. Wish I had more. Drinking well right now with a short decant. Great wine for the price paid.

I gave this wine a second chance and it delivered. 4 hours of decanting yielded a wonderful wine.

Decanted 2 hours. Blah. Solid, workmanlike Bordeaux blend but I was counting on more. Hopefully the next bottles show better.
