Proof that you can get lucky…and aging works! Paid under $20 for this and drank this amazing wine in on a whim 10+ years later tonight. Looked it up to see if I could get another and $135-250/bottle today. So fun drinking something awesome that we did nothing but cellar it and then enjoy!!! Very smooth blackberry, slight plum, and hint of smoke with light tannins.

A nice lighter side Bordeaux, with a bit of tannins upfront, not too much earth showing though. Don't get the lower ratings. Not killer but a nice glass of juice with cheeses before dinner.....enjoyable. Have more, so will let others age.

The character of the wines is always determined by the weather during the growing season, which in 2009 was perfect. Sun and warmth with just enough rain at times allowed the grapes to ripen perfectly.
