Angelo Gaja describes 2009 as a year with a lot of rain until June

This too is noticeably reduced and tough to read

Pliant and open-knit

This is the first year with puncheons (no hogsheads) as well

palate coating and serious finish that exhibits excellent persistence

Nicolas Potel, Chambertin other_regions_australia Angelo Gaja describes 2009 asVery generous wood presently dominates the nose, indeed to the point that I question whether there is enough mid palate sap to absorb it successfully. To be sure, this is no shrinking violet with big, rich and powerful flavors that really coat the mouth with both sap and tannins but this potentially risks drying out with time in bottle. A question mark for me. (90 93?) 2016+
