Some earthy graphite aromas in the nose with blackcurrant in the background coming through more dominantly as it airs. Relatively light bodied, elegant finish. Exceeds my expectations.

Bien foncé encore, sans signe visible d'évolution. Le nez est sur la cerise noire, les prunes, les mûres avec très peu de notes boisées. La bouche est ronde, sans aspérités. Très fondue, sans avoir encore de notes tertiaires. La finale est nette, pas très persistante. Le tout est presque trop facile et manque un peu de profondeur. Je m'attendais à plus de structure pour un 2009. C'est à boire dans les très prochaines années. Payé 40$ en 2012, ça me semble cher...

Impressed. Lovely exchange between the Cab and Merlot -- cocksure and curvy. Excellent intensity, acid and length, and impressively integrated at this point in its history. With two hours' decant, the fruit met with spicy wood, earth, menthol, leather and strong tannic push. Plenty going on today but I feel a couple more years would bring it to another level.

Solid bordeaux from the great 2009 vintage, maturing very well, with excellent balance but tannins can still integrate more.

Spice, sweet flower and a hint of band-aid scent. Lean, mid-weight body. Concrete, cranberry and coffee flavor with grippy fine tannins.
