Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hour. The 2009 pours a deep, slightly dull ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with beguiling notes of strawberry, raspberry, dried red flowers, sous bois, mushroom, licorice, dried green herbs, and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Despite the power of the vintage, this is impressively balanced and only seemed to gain energy as time went on. Drink now with patience through 2059.

From oldish vines, only 33% new oak. Developed and ready to drink. Sour berries, pomegranate, herbs, potting soil. Honeslty I do get some bret here, not that it ruins the wine or anything but remarkable since this a €800 bottle.

Amazing wild strawberry, cherry & pine notes as well as white & black pepper, with slight Asian spice. On the palate it’s incredibly balanced, light on its feet yet has amazing depth, and mineral character. Such complexity, finesse & pleasure 🥰

Almost perfect for me. Elegant, silky, lasting, evolving, and haunting. What wine should be.
