  Early drinkability. Monumental wine, pretty masculine. Needs air. Would decant for 2 hours.

  Decanted over cocktails, needed an hour to open up. This is drinking spectacularly, broad and full on the palate with precise notes of fresh red berries baked into a thick but lightly structured body. Beautifully integrated and balanced and clearly a cut above the norm even for Grand Cru Burgs.

  Medium plus colour. Dark plum fruit and a whiff of oak. Broad and deep flavours, silky. Exceptional.

  Surprised to see that this is so accessible right now. Improved a bit with aeration, but was fragrant and lively even when the bottle was opened. Loads of spice to along with the red cherry fruit. No overt oak. Complex, concentrated, and precise on the palate. Good length on the finish. I'm still surprised a 2009 from CDB is this approachable right now.

  Lucien Le Moine Dinner with Mounir Sauoma (Sepia): In a flight of 02/06/09. My WOTN in a dinner filled with stunner after stunner. The nose is simply perfect -- everything I could ask for. Full and unending with a mix of red and black cherry and huge amounts of spice. Rich yet bright. Wow, wow, wow. The palate isn't perfect, but close. One of the riper wines of the evening, but it all holds together amazingly well. Despite the ripeness this is intense, bright and lively as it dances across the palate. Ridiculous amounts of spice accenting the fruit. A memorable wine.
