This is the 2009. Give this wine some time to breathe. It really opens up. Nose has black fruit, black tea, red berries, wet earth, and spices. Palate is bright but balanced by the forest floor earthiness. Plum, smoke, and maybe even a bit of apple lead to a long and mouthwatering finish. Spices on the palate are exotic with mustard seed and fenugreek coming through with the strong-but-fine tannins. Love this wine. It's very Burgundian in style and well worth seeking out.
