Producer note: Please see Issue 41 or the appropriate entry in the Burghound.com database for additional details on Christophe Roumier's views of the 2009 vintage. (Diageo Château and Estate Wines, www.diageowines.com, NY, NY; John Armit Wines, www.armit.co.uk, Domaine Direct, www.domainedirect.co.uk, Howard Ripley, www.howardripley.com, Fields, Morris & Verdin, www.fmvwines.com and The Wine Society, www.thewinesociety.com, all UK; Sequin & Robillard/Vinifera, www.seguinrobillard.ca, Canada). Tasting note: A cool but ripe nose of white flower, green apple, lemon-lime and stone hints merges into racy, intense and focused broad-shouldered flavors that possess both good weight and solid power on the dense if not especially elegant but long finish. I very much like the sense of underlying tension as well as the superb depth though collectors of this wine should note that it will require plenty of cellar time.
