Lot #215. Le Carré 2009

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Packaging: OWC.
Score: 97 RP.
". . . this blend of approximately 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is from vineyards that sit on limestone soils near Clos Fourtet, an area that performed brilliantly in 2009. Inky purple, with notes of graphite, vanillin, blackberry and cassis as well as crushed rock and floral notes, the wine has breathtaking extravagance and a luxuriant fruit quality that simply has to be tasted to be believed. Phenomenally rich, full-bodied, and brilliantly poised and well-balanced, this is a tour de force in winemaking and a colossal Le Carre, the finest Jonathan Maltus has yet produced." Wine Advocate #199, Feb 2012
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $750
