Note di degustazione
The 2009 Bernadotte feels rather flat on the nose and lacks the tension and energy displayed by some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannin, earthy and dusty towards the finish with tobacco lingering on the aftertaste. Not bad, but a little rustic for my liking. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.

Tasted blind. Dull, dark crimson with a pale rim. Heady, almost right-bank opulence on the nose. Very flattering and ripe and spreads all the way across the palate. Very flattering without being too sweet. Long. GV (JR)
Good full red. Redcurrant, mocha and cedary, smoky oak on the ripe nose, with a hint of peppery lift. Lush, ripe and concentrated, offering a dense, thick texture for this wine and a hint of salty herbs. Nicely subtle and perfumed in the mouth. Finishes with suave tannins and sneaky length. A sleeper of the vintage, for drinking over the next 15 years.
This blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the best wines to yet come from this estate, owned by the proprietors of Pichon Lalande in Pauillac. Juicy, succulent, cedary black currant fruit intermixed with licorice, herbs and spice box are very pure, authoritative and substantial. Dark ruby/purple, medium to full-bodied and delicious, this wine should be drunk over the next 10-15 years. A sleeper.
