Réserve, Médoc
Vintage 2009
The 2009 vintage met the five conditions necessary for a great year in Bordeaux: homogeneous, early flowering and setting (early June) with hot, dry, sunny weather; an equally early start to the ripening process (véraison), beginning in late July, complete ripeness due a warm, dry August and September, and finally dream harvests starting late in September, in perfect weather conditions!
The wines of the Médoc show great quality, with superb aromatic expression, ripe, silky tannins, and a freshness in the finish which perfectly balances the sometimes high levels of alcohol.
Colour: Deep crimson.
Nose: Aromatic and intense, combining jammy aromas of fruit (strawberries, blackcurrants) with notes of liquorice.
Palate: Round and balanced, with ripe, velvety tannins, and spicy, powerful flavours (cinnamon, black pepper).
