2009 Delas CdR Saint Esprit

[wondersofwine]

The distributor at the Rhone tasting I attended gave us a quick rundown on vintages and 2009 is supposed to be a good one like 2007 (2007 maybe a warmer year, bit riper than the traditionalists prefer but I liked the ones I sampled and then purchased (3 out of about 9 hit the right spot with me.) He admitted that 2008 had its problems. He said 2003 (the really hot year in Europe) had overripened fruit. 2004 was pretty solid. 2007 called the vintage of the century and 2009 and 2010 both good.
