Lush round textures, ripe, sweet, dark red, juicy fruits, medium/full bodied with a kirsch, jam and floral character. This is already showing quite well.

A juicy nose of currants, medium ruby in color. A medium bodied CDP, delicate, smooth, red currants, minerals, light pepper, vanilla, very good. Gets better after an hour or so decant.

Drank with Kevin. Lots of red cherry, cassis and herbs. The palate is full of fruit (black cherry, plum) and backed by silky tannins and significant oak. Lots of the classic 09 richness, but also some savory meat and blood flavors. A bit of chewing tobacco and lamb came out with time. Soft and plush after three hours open.

After 30 min of being corked this wine opens up revealing a concentrated bouquet of black cherries. medium finish. This wine is quickly becoming a staple in our cellar and dinner table.
