2009 Burgundy Tasting Notes

My 1st place wine, the group’s 7th

This is sweet and fruity on the nose, but there are intensely sappy underlying notes along with plenty of sweetening wood spice and a nice pretty floral note. Rich and dense with a weighty feel reinforced by the oak here, but plenty of fresh, clean fruit and a nice bit of limestone underpinning it all. The finish shows off nice cherry pit fruit in a big, powerful style but this remains sappy, long and fresh. 92 pts

(Some might say I’m being fooled here by the new oak and modern vinification, but this is a lovely wine and it represents the 2009 vintage very well!)
