A dark, vibrant, youthful purple colour on the swirl although the nose suggests more depth, with a meaty aspect. Quite tart acidity and a little bitter, this doesn't quite sit right. Left to breathe a little vastly improved it, still a meaty nose but also some berry fruit. Strawberry aspect underneath relatively bitter tannins, astringent finish. 79-80pts

Purple, light rims, not much of a nose, dark berries, not very impressive, strong acidity, too much compared with the fruity flavors the wine exhibits, maybe too young, but other 2009's had more fruit and a lot more depth as well, okay, but not more than that

Not a lot on the nose. A bit of sour cherry maybe. Lots of acidity and a little fruit. Bit disappointing

Pleasant and balanced, albeit with not as much fruit as say J-P Brun's 2009... good acidity, short finish
