Tasted February 19, 2015.
2009 vintage
Bright ruby color, brick red halo (seems older than its age).
Blackberry, a little scent of smoke, not a complex bouquet.
Pleasant and progressive attack, tannins come first, then blackberry, unripe raspberry, a mild acidity, reglise.
Long caudalies, a little astringent, reglise, mint.
A pleasant wine dominated by the braquet grape, still young, to drink now or in 1-3 years (I don't think this vintage is going to improve after that)
