Château Malaire 'Cuvée Grande Réserve', Médoc 2009
All good things must come to an end, which in our case means that we’ve just shipped the last of Château Malaire 2009 direct from the Château. And because we expect demand to be high, we expect this to soon be the end of the 2009 vintage. Good drinking-claret from the legendary 2009 vintage - widely considered with 2010, the best Bordeaux vintages since 1945 - has all but disappeared from the market. We recommend you buy a few cases of this sumptuous, mature one while you still can.
It is a delicious mature claret with a good few years to go. Here is our tasting note:
A showy, voluptuous claret - very clearly from a warm, expressive vintage, but still with striking freshness and fine balance. Bright, luscious cassis fruit, and a touch of cedar and subtle spice - classically Médoc with good texture, and fine-grained tannins. Good winemaking at work here - not overcooked, given the vintage, and very stylish. Flavours continually expand an evolve. This is a classy Médoc.
All in all, a high quality, mature claret from a great vintage - and something of a bargain, whats more. Undoubtedly one that all the team at FromVineyardsDirect will be drinking this season!
