Needed 3 hours of air to really open up. Hour 1 was as inaccessible as Kilimanjaro. Hour 2 was tightly wound and muscular. Hour 3 was waltzing with raspberry, blackberry, currant, cedar, potting soil, caramel, mushroom, and green stems. Powerful stuff with a mineral backbone. Looking forward to trying on day 2.

The 09's drink so well young. The blackberries are so ripe and elegant already. As well, the tannins. Wire to wire this wine is consistent and will not disappoint. Black cherries, black plum skin, strawberries dance around the palate, minerals dry but so silky, dry black earth, touch of lead pencil, saddle-wood, dry red roses, very high acidity and a nice dark fruit finish that runs juicy to dry. It's going to be very good in 8-10 more years.

Very easy to approach after a quick decant to let it breathe (20-30min). Raspberries and cassis, with pretty tannins that are well integrated. Depends how you like your Bordeaux, but this is in a good drinking window.
