“The red wine flight was a colossal showing for the 2009s, with perfect wines from Cos d’Estournel, La Mission Haut-Brion, Smith Haut Lafitte, Pape Clment and Haut-Brion. These amazing wines are not only showing their individual, singular terroir characteristics at age six, but the luxurious, extravagant richness and body of this vintage. As I have written and said publically many times, 2009 is the modern-day version of 1982, except much more consistent, as many more properties ratcheted up the level of quality by making stricter selections not only in the vineyard, but also in the winery as well. The tour de force, and a sleeper of the vintage that I mentioned early on, was the 2009 Cos d’Estournel, a monumental wine that may well go down in history as this vintage’s 1947 Cheval Blanc. Also remarkable was the 2009 Smith Haut Lafitte. One expects the Mission Haut-Brion, Haut-Brion and Pape Clment to hit the highest points in a vintage like this – and they did.”
