The nose is pretty yet slightly restrained, showing blackberry and plum, with hints of licorice and purple flowers. On the palate, soft textures are elevated by zippy acids with mineral-tinged red and black fruits, coming across as medium-to-light bodied and quite feminine, as fine tannins slowly saturate the senses. The finish is long and structured, focused on dark inner florals more than fruit, with a twang of savory spice and cheek-puckering tension. More time may be necessary here to gain some textural depth, yet it’s the lack of fruit that worries me the most.

Wonderful dark fruit, great nose, smooth finish. Medium body. Haven’t had this grower before but 2010 is such a great vintage in Bordeaux

Deep ruby coloration. On the palate, cherry, berries, spice, vanilla and florals. On the palate, currants, spice and oak. Tannins are still relatively strong after 6 years. Vanilla and oak finish. 2010.
