2009 Noaillac

Dark ruby, somewhat jammy, but with sufficient fruit and freshness, this straightforward blend of 55% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot should make correct drinking for another 5-6 years. (A member of the Association of Crus Bourgeois du Medoc.)

Mid crimson. Quite discreet but well balanced on the nose. Then a real welter of very agreeable fruit on the palate. Spreads nicely across the palate. Nothing out of kilter. Not a great, great wine but very good in the context of crus bourgeois. (JR)
