Browning on the edges, but youthful with a long drinking window in every other way. A beautiful nose gives way to black cherry, spices and a smooth finish. The tannins are well integrated, but it got better as the night went on. A world class Burgundy — 3 months ago

The 2009 “Aux Brulées” pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe red fruits: Strawberries, blackberries, red flowers, smoked and spiced meat, minerals and fine wood. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. I found this to be relatively quiet compared to some of the other bottles we enjoyed on a night of really exceptional wine. I doubt it will be losing steam anytime in the immediate future. Drink now through 2039. — 2 months ago

Lovely spicy red fruits and a bit savory at L’Etoile. — 3 days ago
