Switching to Scotch as we are in Scotland just not nearly as good as I expected

I enjoyed another one of Claire Lurton's wines when last time she was in the shop. Much darker complexion than her Château Haut-Bages Libéral. This 2ème Cru has wonderful acids and balance. I can't wait to revisit this wine in another 5-8 years.

Black and forest floor, ripe fruit and sweet silky finish. Lovely and by the glass. What a deal! A very drinkable young Bordeaux.

Needs a few hours to show all its potential : vanilla, mint, black fruits. Very elegant wine. Deserves to age a few years more to hit its peak.

Nice acidity and balance.... so silky, smooth, and rich with dark fruit

The 2009 vintage is still rather young, but opens up nicely after an hour or so.
