I spent several hours with Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lecaillon tasting through a wide range of 2009s vins claires
Good acidity gives the palate length and finesse
the use of French oak has become more measured and the Barolos are now among the elite wines of the region in virtually every vintage
The palate shows great balance
palate-staining red fruit and floral pastille flavors show impressive depth and heft
Colgin, IX Estate Size:3x750ml I spent several hours with(69% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot, 11% cabernet franc and 7% petit verdot), Saturated ruby. Blackberry, spices and graphite on the nose. Broad and rich but also magically airy in the mouth, with compelling perfume to the dark fruit and mineral flavors. A very dark, deep, young wine with terrific finishing grip. Here, too, the substantial tannins will require at least five years of patience. Stephen Tanzer
