This 2009 is showing well. With lovely vanilla, spice and a little bit of smoke on nose.

Blend of 3 Crus, but mainly Inferno. This is a late harvest (picked only early Dec) aged for 12m in new barriques and then cement.
The nose is full of cranberry (crespino!) and some kirsch but also quite pronounced leathery, earthy, mushroomy notes and a whiff or rosemary. Opens up with time.
On the palate with mid weight and nice balance. Quite tannic but the wood is integrating nicely. A fine wine that will gain in the next 5yrs.
