I bought this at Total Wine and More. I wanted a Bordeaux in the 2009 vintage and this was a staff pick. It's delivery is subtle at first. The fruit lingers long after the liquid is gone. Slightly astringent at the first opening. An hour later it had smoothed nicely.

Needed decanting. Still big. Lot of oak notes at first then opening up to nice fruit. Age a few more years

30th birthday wine for Holly. Opened up quite well after an hour, with a beautiful nose of red berries and florals. There's definitely oak on the nose as well, and the palate shows it too, but it's very well integrated into the medium body. A beautiful wine that can keep for a few more years I imagine without starting to fall.

Superficial dry cork concerned me at first but it was admiration at first sip.
