Drinking a little better than the first with lovely structure but still clouded by a little too much oak. Needs more time for this to be resolved. But I see the potential.

This 2009 Sylvie Esmonin Clos Saint Jacques is an undistinguished Clos Saint Jacques. Ripe dark cherry, light bodied for a Clos Saint Jacques. Starting to mature, resembles a 2008 Burgundy more than a 2009. Not particularly refined, tannins are a bit rough on the edges. Drink now – 2030. (86/100)

Starting to develop some tertiary notes with lush dark fruit. Long and lovely

黑樱桃、香草、肉桂、可可、烟熏和一点皮革气息,很强劲阳刚的香气风格。开瓶五个小时后状态良好,香气并非奔放但入口集中度很高,结构立体有力度,并有足够的酸度支撑。但是过于紧实而略欠细腻,愉悦度上略有不足。

Very light and pleasant but lacks depth! Perhaps still a little early in the drinking window. Try again in a couple years. 90-91
