NOTE

The 2009 Merlot Cuvee 37.2 emerges from the glass with jammy dark fruit, new leather, spices and licorice. This is a decidedly super-ripe style with tons of fruit. Elements of heat and over-extraction in the tannins keep the score from going higher. In 2009 the blend is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. a stunningly complex perfume of sweet cassis, graphite, blueberries, black currants, and spice. Full-bodied, exuberant and pure with considerable intensity as well as a graciousness and elegance that follow through from the beginning to the finish
