Note di degustazione
This was the wine of the tasting for at least one of the F+R buyers. 2009s are simply delicious and even the very best are hard to resist now. 2009 is no doubt the young version of 1982: wines that will please and please and please for many, many years. Enjoyable now, this easily has another ten years in it, probably twenty.

Proprietor Paul Pontallier is pulling back considerably from the higher alcohol, fuller styles that he was producing as recently as 2007. I am not sure it is the best idea, but this is still a vivid, vibrant 100% Sauvignon, with loads of minerality and almost unbridled notes of grapefruit and white currants in a medium-bodied, crisp, somewhat tart style. Drink it over the next 20+ years.

Spicy, slightly stinky, catty nose. Rather more lift than in some recent vintages. Lanolin and richness but lots of lemon and grapefruit too. They are picking a bit earlier and not including the very ripest grapes because the alcohols were getting just a bit too high – sometimes over 15%. This was 'scary', they started reacting in 2008 but nature helped. Much reduced crop – see the video . Minerals and tension quite different from the old fat style. Very interesting. Should age longer. Perhaps less distinctive – more like a particularly refined Pessac-Léognan? (JR)
