11 yrs on a Merlot oriented Bordeaux blend. Very sweet fruits set in integrated tannins, with plenty of damp earth & dark red fruit notes. Utterly perfect w my home boys roast chicken.

Deep garnet red with a touch of ruby. Tight on the nose with some woody elements, dried cherries and minerality. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. A touch of parchment on the palate, dark dried berries, and a light touch of cocoa. Medium length finish. Drink till 2019.

The nose is better than the taste. Medium turbidity. Very teary. For its age (2009) I felt it was ok.
