Tuesday, February 17, 2009 - nose: lovely and elegant nose for such a young burg. Very well balanced with pretty tones of dark red cherries, earthen tones, dark spices, red floral hints and bits of sous bois. Very well put together and shining at such a young age, though still primary

taste: very big acidity gets in the way. Some tones of sous bois, raspberries, red cherries and earthen tones poke through, but the acidity is almost overwhelming, especially on the mid palate at this young stage

overall: will obviously need a few more years to calm down the acidity. Lots of promise on this extremely young wine. Excellent depth already and excellent aromatics, this can turn into a real beauty and shows off how great the vintage is
