The second of three reports on tastings of 2009 bordeaux at 10 years old. See also the report on the left-bank reds and sweet whites, as well as our guide to 2009 bordeaux coverage on JancisRobinson.com.
The right-bank wines did not in general show quite as gloriously as the left-bank ones at 10 years old.
