The 2009 d'Arche has a mellow, refined bouquet with white flower scents infusing the dried honey, leesy and Golden Delicious aromas. The palate is well balanced with a viscous entry, a fine bead of acidity, quite pure and tensile with a penetrating and lively finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners' 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Drinking window: 2019-2050. Score - 95.
