1996 is another vintage that is a true delight. Wunderful dark purple hue. Notes of black fruit, cedar. Some smokey and on the palette with truffles, blackcurrent and wonderful fruit structures complimented with a devine tannic structure. I really enjoyed this particular wine experience. Enjoyed with Yves Beck in Twann

This Second Growth. Deuxieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855. Has a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 60-70% and Merlot 20-30% with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.  A wonderful example of the great 2009 vintage. Wines from this vintage are faster ready to drink thank the world famous 2005 and 2010 vintages. It has a wonderful depth, silkyness. The mouthfeel is majestic. Notes of cedar and cassis. The tannic structure is deep and refined with a finish that scream have another glass. A delight.

The nose initiated with wonderful red fruit. Intesive note of secondary aromas and a complex bouquet with rasberries. This fantastic wine is from the Madonna del Piano has a wonderful depth and complexity finshes long and with sophistication a true delight. The wine is in slowenian bariques for 24 - 36 months depending the vintage and is then ripened for another 2 years in the bottle.
