Suave, broad, rich and stylish, with subtle inner-mouth aromatic character. Fine-grained without any impression of weight. Finishes with building tannins and lovely lingering perfume.

Vinous (89)(50% vendange entier; bottled in June of 2011, the last '09 to be bottled because this cuvee, says Tremblay, always needs longer elevage to integrate its tannins): Good bright medium red. Serious but discreet nose hints at dark raspberry, licorice and minerals. Concentrated, spicy and minerally but in a rather restrained stage today. Very rich and deep for village wine but will need some time in bottle to absorb some of its substantial ripe, dusty tannins and gain in definition. |

Creamy-rich and very ripe but not overly sweet on the palate. A big, strong, somewhat warmer style of wine, quite different in style from the last few samples, and not yet showing the aromatic complexity of the Rouges du Dessus. Tremblay uses Tron c ais oak here, which contributes a vanilla quality. Finishes classically dry and long, with mouthdusting tannins. |

Vinous (94)The 2009 Barolo Via Nuova is quite a bit fresher and more vibrant than the Cannubi, which is often the case in warmer years. Freshly cut flowers, spices, menthol, mint and licorice all jump from the glass, followed by tar, cloves, violets and a host of beguiling aromas and flavors. Clean veins of minerality frame the saline, mineral-drenched finish in a mid-weight, contemporary Barolo with immense appeal. This is a great showing from Chiara Boschis. Both times I tasted the 2009 from bottle, several months apart, I was deeply impressed. |

Celebrated for its rarity and prestige, Chateau Pommard Clos Marey-Monge Monopole 2009 is indeed a testament to the enduring fine wine manifestation of the Pommard estate. |

Jeb Dunnuck (100)The 2009 Château Cheval Blanc continues to just blow me away every time I'm lucky enough to taste a bottle. It has that rare mix of elegance and power that can be hard to describe. Offering a massive bouquet of black cherry liqueur, flowery incense, crème de cassis, toasted spices, and forest floor, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a magical, seamless texture, and a great, great finish. Its tannins and structure are just now starting to emerge from under ample baby fat, but it still has incredible opulence and richness as well as flawless balance. Enjoy this masterpiece any time over the coming 20-30 years. |

Vinous (94)(60% malbec and 40% cabernet sauvignon; this wine is a joint venture between Cheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes): Bright, saturated medium ruby. Black fruits, tobacco, licorice, wild herbs and an intriguing balsamic note on the nose; as much Bordeaux Right Bank as Argentina in style. Plush, concentrated and sweet; full without any heaviness. Utterly seamless flavors of dark berries, herbs, flowers and earth, plus hints of dried fruits. Really urgent, dense fruit here, with terrific definition and energy. Finishes with noble tannins and outstanding rising length. A fully ripe, outstanding vintage for this consistently excellent bottling. |

Vinous (94)The 2009 Barolo Via Nuova is quite a bit fresher and more vibrant than the Cannubi, which is often the case in warmer years. Freshly cut flowers, spices, menthol, mint and licorice all jump from the glass, followed by tar, cloves, violets and a host of beguiling aromas and flavors. Clean veins of minerality frame the saline, mineral-drenched finish in a mid-weight, contemporary Barolo with immense appeal. This is a great showing from Chiara Boschis. Both times I tasted the 2009 from bottle, several months apart, I was deeply impressed. |

Vinous (95)Good medium red. Very ripe, soil-driven aromas of black raspberry and smoky minerality. Tactile, vibrant and deep; at once chewy and utterly silky. This compellingly dense grand cru really clings to the palate on the very long, ripely tannic finish. A fabulous combination of energy and flesh: this one hit my G-Spot. One for the cellar. Like the Charmes-Chambertin, this wine is bottled under the Domaine Christophe Roumier label. |

Wine Advocate (97)Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 Astralis presents a very fruity, floral nose with lifted notes of blueberries. The palate is concentrated with a slight prune character and has very crisp acidity. At this stage the phenolics are showing a little chewy before finishing long. Drink it now to 2027+. |

Wine Enthusiast (98)97-99 Barrel sample. A tasting from several barrels, because the chateau has not made the final blend, so the rating is provisional. But the wine is so rich, with an almost perfect balance of acidity and ripeness, allied to a complete purity of honeyed botrytis. However the final wine turns out, it will be magnificent. |
