Tasting Notes

A very ripe purple fruit, spice and distinctly earthy nose gives way to generous, mouth coating and rich middle weight plus flavors that possess a seductive mouth feel on the highly complex and impeccably well balanced finish. This is very stylish with lovely acid/fruit/tannin harmony and outstanding length. This too will require lots of time to really be at its best. I should note that this is a bit riper than I personally prefer and there is a hint of warmth but overall this is still very impressive.

Another deep, broody bouquet from Lamarche in 2009, dark berried fruit, a touch of undergrowth, minerals and a hint of liquorice. This is a sinewy La Grand Rue, firm tannins, great weight and expansion across the palate, real depth of flavour here with the oak very well integrated towards the finish that is very masculine for the vintage. Lovely. Tasted January 2011.
