Consistent up to a point with our previous tasting notes, but this bottle seemed significantly further along its aging curve, with color, aromatics, and palate all indicating oxidation. Not flawed - just much further along the aging curve than I would have anticipated. I should pop another bottle sooner rather than later to see where we are.

Delivered as expected. Not blown away but very solid. Has the juicyness of a St Julien but perhaps a bit light on the finish. Overall very good bang for buck. Ready now, but can go for 5 more Yeats I think.

Young. Primary. Pure. Delicious. Did I say young? Do not touch this for another 10 years and you will be richly rewarded. For those who haven’t had a properly aged and mature Bordeaux, trust me… lay it down because it will eventually enter a new dimension. Current flavor profile is primary black and red currant, anise, graphite, touch of cedar, astringent tannin and high acidity. Decanted for 2 hours.
Context: I had blind tasting of 86 Talbot recently and it almost beat 90 Lynch Bages. Let’s just say Bordeaux made in 2009 is much better than 1986 due to modern technology and the 09 Clos du Marquis is a better made wine. Therefore… patience will be rewarded.
