2009 Release September 29, 2012 - BC Liquor Stores

Clos de Marquis, St Julien
“This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and
the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from Jean-Hubert
Delon is a beauty. Crème de cassis notes intermixed with some
vanillin, crushed rock and spring flowers jump from the glass.
Full-bodied and powerful (nearly 14% natural alcohol), this is a
generously endowed, rich wine that was first made in 1902. The
2009 should drink well for 20-25 years.”

Château Clos l’Église, Pomerol
“The 2009 is one of the sexiest wines in Pomerol in this vintage,
offering up notes of melted caramel, sweet mocha, blackberry
and black cherry fruit, with hints of loamy soil and unsmoked
cigar tobacco as well as a touch of white chocolate and some
subtle toasty oak. Round, opulent and unctuously textured,
with a full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous purity, and no hard
edges, this sumptuous, fleshy, lavishly rich Pomerol can be
drunk now and over the next 25 years.”

Connetable de talbot, St Julien
“Solid, with briar, blackberry and cassis fruit framed by modest,
supple toast. Ends with a sleek, open-knit finish. Drink now”
