Vintage 2009 | classic Bordeaux at its best. Chocolate and black fruit, cedar. Very complete taste with spicyness. We compared this blind next to Lagrange 09, Leoville showing male power, Lagrange a bit further forward with female playfulness. Long aftertaste. Paired with venisonnpaté with foie gras and figs.

Plums & dark chocolate coat the palate. Beautifully textured and powerful without ever seeming weighty. Tannins soften with air while some red currant notes emerge on the back end. Beautiful wine.

Surprise of the night--showing beautifully for a young Bordeaux. Ripe mineral laced black fruit, wet mulchy earth, leafy tobacco, subtly perfumed. Palate shows more youth but absolutely approachable tannins

After a solid hour of air a majestic and sophisticated wine began to bloom. It's absolutely lovely, rich berries, glycerin, minerals and dark chocolate. Merci!
