Dynamite nose. Fresh gravel, silky berry fruit, tar, tobacco, leather, game, mineral, floral. All very pungent and perfumed. Palate is just superb. Unreal freshness. Just crushes the 09 in freshness levels and makes it so much more complete. Balanced and super pure with terrific, power, depth and concentration. Exceptionally long finish and ripe, substantial and very high quality tannins.

No formal notes but really one of the best Grezeaux. Beautiful balance and freshness. Such purity. Velvety. Outrageous nose.

The more intense wine of the Baudry line-up, this is drinking wonderfully.

This is so satisfying. Love the green streak running through the fruit. Winter means I will be drinking Baudry.

Le premier jour, même après 2h de carafe, ça reste âpre, rude, herbacé.
Le deuxième jour, c'est devenu un jus souple, sensuel, plus aérien.
Bien bien...après 24h.
