  Drank during Cornerstone Provenance Night Event with more than 30 wines tasting. Did not have enough time to take down notes and didn’t have proper wine glasses. In general, the wines are still drinking fine and have characteristics of old vintage wine; forest floor, some barnyard, spices, tea, hawthorn, toast. I only managed to use my own personal score to rate the wine.

  Deep garnet color, almost black at the core. No sign of aging here. Sweet blackberries and blueberries dominate the nose, combined with the warm earth and brick tones so often found in a Medoc. After an hour or so in the glass, the upbringing comes to the front: coffee and caramel. Medium to full bodied attack, very rounded tannins at first, smooth attack, on the mid palate the acidity kicks in, surprisingly fresh for a 09. The fruit - blueberries and blackcurrant - emerge on the finish. Good length with a fine balance between sweet fruit, smooth tannins and freshness. Amazingly young and fresh for such a warm vintage. This is just in the beginning of its life, but wonderful to drink now. Will probably earn a higher score in 5-10 years for those of admiring old Bdx- A treat, not totally great, but at this price it is just a bargain.

  Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rims and legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry and cassis, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of coffee, pungent spice of liquorice, animal notes of leather, maturity notes of tobacco and savoury. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium in alcohol and full body, with medium intensity (+) flavours of black fruit of blackberry and cassis, oak notes of cedar, kernel notes of chocolate, maturity notes of savoury and tobacco. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
  Conclusion: Very good quality Haut-Medoc with an intense nose showing good complexity, with plenty of ripe black fruit, nice oaky and coffee characters, supported with liquorice and leather, with also good development aromas. The wine has good balance, well-structured, robust with good concentration and a fairly long finish. It is ready to drink now and can maintain for another 3-5 years.
