Louis Barrouol 2009. From Schneider’s $40 ca 2012 has 2009 on 10/12/20 as third day birthday and in memory of the spring 2011 pilgrimage there. Rainy fall day. Mashed blueberries, pomegranate nose,in background of smoke and farm hayrides over clay. Big rich bold on front of mouth. Black cherry juice. Slight pomegranate chalkiness. Smooth overall but broad tannins settled down —mostly strike front “shoulder” of tongue. Vanilla at finish. Bucchal astringency. Better a little below 55 degrees. Oak barrels?
