St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend

2010 | Red Blend
(50% Merlot / 50% Cabernet Franc)
Château La Révérence; Grand Cru
Bordeaux; St-Émilion, France
(90-92; Drink 2025-35)
Decanted 4H, wants 6-10H.

Time to drink up. Fruit is fading and a little flat

Needs thorough decanting. Hickory and dark cocoa come out the next day. A little strong on the Cab Franc side and shows in its unsubtle flavors. It's a chest-up Camaro, compared to the Jaguar-esque finesse you might get with Hyot, Goulee, or other similarly priced, similarly available Bordeaux in the NYC area.

Solid

50% Merlot and 50% Cab Franc. Deep color ripe fruit and spice cherry fruit. Long finish and decant before serving. Silky finish.

Too much like grape jelly.

A holiday gift from Gary and Ann. Thank you so much. Delicious Bordeaux.
