Without a doubt one of the more pleasing 2009s I’ve had, without any of the cooked fruit that I’ve found in so many wines from this vintage. This was fresh, if not overly complex, and made for enjoyable drinking. — 4 months ago

Drinking well now but will clearly open out and develop in time. Lovely soft raspberries and great length and backbone. — 5 months ago

A baby CdP, this 11+ year old was a bit tight upon opening, but unfurled like a beautiful rose with tangy spiced violet raspberries and that PEZ-like VERVE that went perfect with our homemade lamb meatballs with fresh naan. The medium weighted body with long floral finish with very poetic too :) — 3 years ago

Medium(+) intensity aromas of black fruit (plum, cherry and prune) with secondary aromas of oak (cedar, smoke and dark chocolate) and just beginning to show some tertiary aromas and flavors of tobacco leaf and prunes. The wine has medium(+) acidity, medium(+) fine grained textural tannins and medium(+) body. The finish is medium (+) and while slightly grippy, those tannins are ripe and it’s that structure which will give it the ability to age in bottle for another 5/7 years. There is enough fruit and defined aromas and flavors to balance the acidity and the tannins which want to be the protagonista of this wine. A solid Claret. #saintestephe #bordeaux #grandvindebordeaux #cabernet #cabernetsauvignon #merlot and just 5% #petitverdot — 4 years ago

Not as focused as the 2019 enjoyed at a steak house a few weeks ago. But still very enjoyable, of course! — 7 months ago
