Robert Parker on the 2009 vintage in Bordeaux:

"2009 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in Bordeaux since 1982, of which it is a modern-day version, but greatly improved. It is more consistent (many chateaux that were making mediocre wine in 1982 are now making brilliant wine) and of course, the yields are lower, the selection process is stricter, and there are any other number of factors, from investments in the wineries to impeccable, radical viticulture, that have resulted in extraordinary raw materials".

A big, sweet, ripe nose of raspberry jam interwoven with white flowers, blueberries, kirsch and some subtle oak and camphor is followed by an intensely concentrated yet silky textured, full-bodied, opaque purple wine that should drink well for 10-15 years, possibly longer. This is one of the sleepers of the ... more

The wines of Bellevue are characterised by their power, their great aromatic complexity and mineral notes. The high percentage of Merlot in the blend will be gradually diminished over the coming years through increased planting of Cabernet Franc. Through the quality of its terroir, surrounded by three premier grand cru ... more

This is a gorgeous effort, made from a blend of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare from their clay over limestone soils, the wine displays oodles of new oak, crushed chalk, and blueberry and blackberry fruit with hints of raspberries ... more

Tremendously underrated from barrel several years ago, the 2009 Les Gravieres is the best wine proprietor Denis Barraud has ever produced. Yields were not terribly low at 38 hectoliters per hectare, but this wine (made with 100% Merlot and finishing at just under 14% alcohol) has a spectacular, even flamboyant ... more

The home estate of Pierre Lurton, the manager of Cheval Blanc, this is one of his better efforts in a number of years. An attractive, fruity, soft wine with lots of berry fruit as well as some loamy soil notes; it is medium-bodied, with good purity and overall balance. A ... more

The wines of this vintage are characterized by exceptional concentration that has rarely been equalled. The fruit is excellent, the mid-palate is rich and dense, and the tannins are velvety. The finish is tremendous and very long on the fruit. The sunny conditions and low rainfall produced higher alcohol levels. ... more
