My palate was fatigued for a couple of days afterwards, and it wasn't until the last couple of evenings that I finally got around to tasting them - a full 4 or 5 days after they had been opened. Having tasted the 08's last year in a similar fashion (i.e. over the course of several days after opening) I shouldn't really have been surprised to find that the 09's were still singing - in fact even better than on the day of the tasting. I know of a few other wines that can do this, but not many. <br /><br />I noted at the tasting last week that I could actually smell the wines as Brigitte was pouring them for someone else, and I was standing several feet away - the aromas positively leap out of the glass!<br /><br />I do of course have a certain bias, where Brigitte's wines are concerned, but I think she has a real talent (and some pretty special terroir, of course) and is going to be a star. The 2008's were brilliant, but those 2009's are nothing short of spectacular, in my opinion. As it happens, I will be posting some in-depth notes on my blog in a couple of days (after parts 3 and 4 of my own Outsiders write-up).<br /><br />Nice notes on all the wines, by the way!Leon Stolarskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277390017788435310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632917762058918179.post-9213885358087335282010-11-16T16:40:40.242+01:002010-11-16T16:40:40.242+01:00An annual event?
