Expressive nose displaying ripe red and black fruit, raspberry, blackberry, a hint of sous bois starts to emerge, very floral, strong sap, sweet spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, concentrated red fruit, silky and fluid, perfect amount of acidity and mineral, and a long sweet red fruit and sap driven finish. Clearly showing the 09 ripeness but also really floral and pretty. I am really looking forward to drink another bottle in ten years when sous bois fully emerges.

Thibault-LIger Bélair 2009: Au nez, on a l'impression de marcher doucement en forêt au printemps - mousse humide, terre fraîche. En bouche, les fruits sont présents (cassis> cerises), c'est minéral, on retrouve les arômes de sous-bois, c'est long et complexe. Superbe!

I didn't recall having this, but my prior note is spot on. Not a lot of precision in this wine, but it is very tasty.
