(1x75cl) 2009Indulge in the multi-layered complexity of Liber Pater 2009, a unique vintage heralding from the gravely soils of Bordeaux's Landiras appellation, France. The creator, the respected Loïc Pasquet, has elegantly crafted a blend of historical, ungrafted indigenous grape varieties imbued with the age-old authenticity of their lineage. Exceptionally low-yield vine cultivation underscores the brand's boutique model, resulting in 300 bottles of this cherished 2009 vintage.
Aged in custom French oak barrels, the Liber Pater 2009 manifests a stunning profundity of both colour and flavour, demonstrating a compelling balance of vigorous fruit and delicate tannins. Its prestigious palate reveals exotic hints of black currant, plum, liquorice, and provocative smoky notes, leading in a lingering finish of sweet spices.
Frequently hailed as the world's most expensive wine, Liber Pater 2009 embodies the pinnacle of vinicultural excellence and reveals the untapped potential of Bordeaux's ancestral grape varieties.

(12x75cl) 2009Experience the splendour of Lynsolence 2009, an exceptional wine achieving the pinnacle of Bordeaux finesse. A delicacy from the St. Émilion appellation, this vintage is a testament to meticulous vineyard management in its gravel and clay terroirs, being nurtured from Merlot grape selection. Produced by Denis Barraud, a renowned vigneron, Lynsolence 2009 showcases his mastery of perfectly ripened grapes amid dense, old-vine parcels.
This enticing wine boasts a deep, opaque colour with a swirl of ripe blackberry, licorice, and roasted coffee on the nose. The palate offers a succulent combination of intense dark fruit and exotic spice balanced by a sophisticated structure and elegant tannin. It harmonises its richness with a long, resonating finish, encapsulating the 12-18 months it spends ageing in new French oak barrels.
Hailed by critics for its remarkable intensity and purity, Lynsolence 2009 promises an unforgettable tasting experience.

You feel the slightly higher alcohol in the rich mouthfeel, a reflection of the warmer conditions of the vintage, but the limestone soils ensure the acidity is vibrant and balanced, and this gorgeous wine still delivers the understated ease, together with white truffles, tobacco leaf, mandarin peel and oyster shell salinity that Magdelaine expresses in every vintage, here with a bigger kick of damson, red cherry and kirsh. Confident but supple tannins that promise a long life ahead. You can drink this now, or hold. Eric Murisasco winemaker, 50% new oak.Inc. TAX€1,861.16 -

The 2009 Magrez-Fombrauge has a deep garnet core with little ageing on the rim. The bouquet is attractive with melted red berry fruit, black olive compote and light desiccated orange peel aromas, nicely defined and elegant in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, gentle grip, quite savory with Chinese 5-spice and white pepper sprinkled over the finish. It feels like some ripe Cabernet Franc here (even though it is 100% Merlot) and the aftertaste is commendably long. Very fine. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.Inc. TAX€937.19 -

This is absolutely fabulous. I love the complex aromas of ripe fruit and fresh flowers that turn to mineral and raspberry, along with tannins on the finish. This changes all the time. Full-bodied and dense, but so beautiful and long. The layers of ultrafine tannins just turn off the tip of your tongue. Score range: 97-100 -JSInc. TAX€1,247.26 -

Power and enveloping aromatics from the first moment, this is bursting with pleasure, and so signature Margaux. Impossible not to love the depth and the spice that comes through from the first moment, with spirals of sandalwood, violets, crushed raspberries and cassis. Enticing and generous, and totally delicous. Still young, very much in it primary fruit phase, but you can begin to drink this now, such is the vibrancy of the tannins, but it will deliver for many decades to come. Torreified, smoked coffee bean and campfire notes overtake after half an hour in the glass. 100% new oak. 31% of production win the 1st wine, with the same high level of Cabernet Sauvignon as in 2005.

Bright purple-ruby. Highly floral nose offers scents of lavender, lily, violet, blackberry, cedar and graphite. Lush, rich and sweet on entry, with rich black fruit and smoky underbrush flavors given adequate lift by lively acidity. Finishes pure, clean and long, with a trace of warmth, lingering notes of minerals and coffee, and a healthy dose of youthfully aggressive tannins. This wine will need at least a few years to resolve its tannins but should prove to be a splendid Maucaillou.Inc. TAX€499.56 -

Purple ruby. Open, aromatic nose is loaded with ripe red and black cherry aromas. Rich, lush and sweet, with noteworthy depth to the flavors of dark fruits, smoke and chocolate. Sexy, broad and aromatic in the middle palate, and long on the aftertaste, but this complex, very deep wine's youthfully chewy tannins call for a good decade of cellaring. This will probably be best between 2020 and 2035.Inc. TAX€936.67 -

Pure perfection, and reminding me slightly of the 1982, the 2009 Château Mouton Rothschild boasts an opaque ruby hue as well as an incredibly perfumed, sexy, seductive style in its ripe currant and cassis fruits as well as new saddle leather, spicy oak, smoke tobacco, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors.

The 2009 Pagodes De Cos is a blockbuster that I wish I had more of in the cellar. A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Merlot (there’s a small amount of Petit Verdot) brought up in roughly 50% new French oak, its deep purple/plum color is followed by a smorgasbord of black raspberry and kirsch like fruits, spice box, dried flowers and licorice. With a huge mid-palate, sweet, sweet tannin, beautiful purity of fruit, and a great finish, it’s an incredibly sexy, satisfying second wine that will keep for another 10-15 years.Inc. TAX€1,005.56

There is little left to be said of the 2009 vintage - it has been evaluated, reevaluated and dissected in every possible way by now, along with it’s companion vintage, 2010. As great a vintage as it was, producing a great wine wasn’t exactly a no-brainer. Without proper vineyard management, tannins can be tough and a touch green. Fortunately, many Chateaux refused to miss the opportunity to make nearly perfect wines.
