  December 15, 2023 - How quickly.. this is no.16 over the month of Bordecembre!
  
  Looks like Saint-Julien is very well represented at our dinner, this appelation took up 3 of the 6 spots!
  
  70% Cab, 22% Merlot, 5% CF with 3% PV. Needs time to open, bottle breathed 2 hours but the nose was seemingly in-out.
  
  Comes across as being rather youthful, this 2009 once again reinforces its a brilliant vintage and one where some wines are actually accessible today too.
  
  Tannins are mainly resolved with only a light grip remaining, shows itself in a very fine natured way.
  
  Ripe blackcurrant, fresh cedar with fragrant graphite laced with black pepper. Acid M+.
  
  Amazingly, I guessed right.. LB 2009.
  
  Thanks Choe for sharing this at MERA, one of 8 bottles we enjoyed at our very early Christmas gathering.
