Parker rated 100 & I agree. It's right up his alley. Big, lush with a richness that I haven't seen in other vintages. A fabulous nose and extraordinarily long finish. Minute++. The only reason that I did not give it a 10 is its youth. It will definitely evolve over the next 10 years. I am so happy to have uncorked this now to see where it is in its evolution. Stunning., simply stunning. 💯🍷🍷💯.
Highly recommend it!

Tasting 2009 clarets with tasting group last night. No one guessed claret for any of them. Very little fruit in any, rustic, on the boozy side. This was my favorite. V. dark, smoke, forest floor, garrigue. Opened with air.

Too young. Can't wait to give it a go after more time in bottle

Sep 23rd, 2014Been 2.5 years since I last tasted and was BLOWN AWAY by its multitude of offerings ~ this BEHEMOTH is harder to discern now ~ it delivers a BIG blow but with blinders on ~ and after 4 hours it shuts down ~ hold off pulling corks for a while!
Note: tasted 3 bottles all showing like this
