Tasting note
The 2009 La Muse is a rich, sumptuous wine bursting with dark plums, [black] cherries, graphite, espresso, spices and licorice. It shows gorgeous balance from start to finish. Persistent veins of minerality frame the long, beautifully articulate, creamy finish. This is a deceptively accessible wine today, but there is so much underlying power and sheer structure that I will not be surprised if it shuts down in the bottle. The 2009 is 86% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2029. Score - 96. (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2012)
Notes of black fruit, well balanced with a long finish with matured tannins and elegant oak.
