2009 vintage. This producer coming through again. Decanted and tasted after 30 mins, 2 hours and 3 hours. Exceptionally dark color for 14 year old Burgundy. Not a fruit bomb but tons more fruit than expected. Exquisite acidity/balanced tannins. The fruit wavered only slightly by the end with the acidity/tannins the beneficiary. Drinking more like a newer vintage such as 2014-2018. This one built to last. The 2009 vintage is going to be in “drink or hold” status for a long long time. 3.12.23.

Delightful wine and vintage with deep color and a nose of dark fruit, forest floor and wet granite that truly entertains! Not fruity but with well developed structure in the glass; more tannins than typical of a burgundy because we did not decant the wine in advance and we were drinking a magnum. This wine should be great for another couple of decades!
