So, while strolling through a wine tasting for a local wine shop that is my stomping grounds, there was quite the surprise! The surprise being an initial release from the lesser known cru's in bordeaux of the 2009 vintage.
Having tasted it, I was rather surprised at how fruit forward it is with very little to no old world action one would come to expect from a bordeaux. This is very much in congruence with what many of the barrel sampling have mentioned in their tw*ts and blogs. It was nicely balanced and drinking well as of this moment with very little to no harsh tannins to get in the way.
That being said, the age worthiness of this may not be present and probably should be drank within the next 5 years at most. This is all fine for me with the current switch over in the philosophy of wine to drink and not to hide.
Even being as young as I, life is too short to hold on to wine and no one should die with a loaded cellar as that would truly be a great tragedy.
