Forward nose right upon opening. Red and black berries, moust earth, hint of green. Medium to full bodied, ripe fruit, well balanced, hints of minerals and herbs keep it fresh, medium-long finish. No aged complexity but a pleasure to drink now, should improve over the next d3cade or two. Excellent.

100-rated 2009 Bordeaux dinner: Tonight's event featured eight 100-point-professinally-rated (by Parker and/or Dunnuck) 2009 Bordeaux reds plus Yquem. The reds: Montrose, Pontet-Canet, Leoville Poyferre, Ducru-Beaucaillou, Smith Haut Lafitte, Clinet, Clos Fortet, and Troplong Mondot. All were purchased upon release, properly cellared, and decanted 3 hours before consumption over another 2-3 hours. In general, IMO and by consensus, none of the reds drank close to perfection. Did they on release? No idea. Will they in time? No idea. I rated them in a relatively tight band of 93-97 tonight. If I owned them, I'd wait on all and gamble on tertiary development. None had material tertiary flavors now. I would hold and gamble on their getting better with it than without. WOTN was unquestionably the d'Yquem. Unlike the reds, it was immortal and perfect.
Some others rated this their favorite to drink right now. All agreed it was the smoothest, most elegant, and most balanced right now. But I found it simple and short. Short of outstanding for me.

served nearly 3 hours after double-decanting. Still sweet on the nose after all this time, and sweet on the palate. Such an elegant wine now.

It’s a good solid, smooth wine but at this age make sure you decant it for a while to give it sufficient air. Initially was closed off and one dimensional. Opened up well after 2 hours.

First of six bottles. Absolutely brilliant after a two hour decant, served to accompany lamb chops. Velvety plush luxurious deep ripe and delicious.
