  Direct uit de fles in het glas nog erg stroef en gesloten.
  Dag 2 en 3 een stuk beter.
  Geur zwarte bessen, kersen en eikenhout.
  Dit keert terug in de volle smaak, stevige licht bittere taninnes, medium lange afdronk.
  Nog aan de jonge kant.
  Dag 3 voegt bosgrond aan het geurenpalet toe en verdiept de smaak.

  Pleasant drinking, but limited in complexity, a bit loose round the edges, hard to discern character. More depth day 2. Not bad value for money.

  Another lovely 2009, produced by a 'little chateau' in a 'little appellation'. Pop and pour. Nose immediately was open and inviting. Plum, black cherry, minth, cedar and licorice. Lush and slightly jammy (which I don't mind at all). On the palate first tannic, but the wine settled down quickly. Ripe fruit, medium acidity, plum, sweet licorice, coffee, soft new oak. Became better by the glass. Fine finish. Just a lovely young wine, a glass that offers more pleasure than points can describe. I guess this is just a tell-tale 2009, because it was singing from A to Z and the extra air gave it a notch more character and balance. Good potential if you keep a few bottles for 5+ years, but oh so tasty right now.
  90+ for today, potential even for 91-92. Drinking window? I guess now-2018.
