"The 2009 Continuum is still in that part of its life where fruit and texture dominate

2009 Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou St Julien USA dark wet soil and blackcurrants"Deep and dark in color, fruits are equally dark. Powerful, full bodied, rich, opulent, and fresh, the layers of blackberries, plums, espresso, flowers, earth, cigars, and spice seem endless. On the palate, even though the wine is incredibly dense, it is also seamless, elegant, vibrant, pure, and expansive. While approachable now, if you want the full experience, allow it a few more years in the bottle and enjoy it over the next several decades. Drink
