2009 Essence de Dourthe

The Essence de Dourthe 2009 from Bordeaux, France is a wine that exudes elegance and refinement. Its deep ruby color hints at the rich aromas of dark berries, cassis, and blackcurrant that greet the nose. As the wine opens up, notes of tobacco, cedar, and a touch of spice develop, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, this vintage reveals a harmonious balance of ripe fruit and subtle oak, with silky tannins and a long, lingering finish. The 2009 vintage was exceptional in Bordeaux, and this is reflected in the impeccable structure and depth of flavour of the Essence de Dourthe. It is a testament to the expertise of this renowned producer and a true expression of the terroir of Bordeaux. This wine is drinking beautifully now, but has the potential to age gracefully for many years to come.
