David Duband, Morey Saint Denis Sorbes Vintage:2017 the 2009 Ermitage Le Méal

the 2009 Ermitage Le Méal remains at the height of its charms

round textured wine is already starting to drink well

in fact it's almost delicate but the gorgeous balance and mid-palate concentration should ensure a very long life

finely grained tannins and bold freshness

I very much like the texture of the medium bodied flavors that also conclude in a bitter pit fruit inflected finish that is notably firmer. At least some patience is recommended.
