Quite surprisingly, this was much more Medoc-like than St. Emilion-like. Lotys of tannins, bitter, unresolved. On it's own, wasn't bad, but with food....Had with pizza, and clashed completely - probably due to inherent sweetness of the sauce. Very disappointing.

Day 1: coravin. Did not decant or air out. Color was dark for its age. Aromas of rasberry pastry is the best I can put it. Palate of dark fruit, gentle smooth oak that isnt masking too much of the fruit. Enough acid and structure to help this age much longer. I would not have guessed 2009. Good wine as of now.
9th day: this is a good wine but final verdict is that it is just too young. I can see it getting better though. Unfortunately, this is my only bottle so I wont know how it ages.

My first bottle, decanted about 30 minutes. This wine at least tasted like bordeaux, just not a whole lot going on. It went well with top sirloin.

Very nice 2009 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru and getting better and more complex with age.
