Château 20 Mille 2009 Subskription

Weitere Verkostungsnotizen

"This winery's name comes from the extraordinary tightly spaced vines (20,000 vines per hectare, nearly double that of other tightly spaced Bordeaux vineyards). The brainchild of the passionate Jean-Philippe Janoueix who started 20 Mille in 2005, the wine comes from a tiny parcel of the Croix-Mouton vineyard. Made from 100% Merlot, the 2009 is a bigger-than-life sort of wine boasting a huge color, huge extract, massive fruit, sweet tannin, good acidity, and a profile that suggests neither over-ripeness nor heat despite natural alcohols of 14.7%. This exquisite Bordeaux Superieur should drink well for a decade or more."

"A highly unusual wine, made from vines that are planted at 20,000 vines per hectare (the absolute maximum usually is 10,000 per hectare, and the majority of Bordeaux Superieurs will come in at well under 5,000). This is very dense, with lovely freshness. But made in such tiny quantities that very few people will ever taste it!!"
