Tasting note: This vineyard's close proximity to Vosne definitely shows in 2009 as this is very spicy with a broad range of Vosne-like aromas that add plenty of nuance to the mostly very ripe mocha, black berry fruit and plum liqueur notes. There is excellent size, weight and concentration to the velvet-textured flavors that enjoy copious amounts of dry extract that again render the very firm tannic spine almost invisible on the massively long finish. This is a substantial and very serious Boudots that will age for decades.
