Bordeaux: high-maintenance, and punishing in its youth, complex, amorphous, and potentially unrewarding regardless of age.

We had the 2009 Vintage on 2/16-17/20. Cedar, plum, graphite and black fruit. More minerality.

Good, not great, Bordeaux from the '09 vintage.

Way too much Right Bank influence for my palate. But, hey...paired with a medium-rare rack of lamb/Carrots Vichy and parsley infused cannelloni, it will do. But a tad messy and a long way from a perfect match.

Light and juicy at the front, with a meaty after finish.

So good! 46%merlot / 54%cab. An excellent blend with a medium finish and substantial tannins! Well rounded spices and dark berries with balanced acidity! I'll have this again!
