PnP in Reidel BDX and slow ox for 90 minutes prior to dinner. Served around high 50s to low low 60s. A 2 hour plus decant might be even better? Semi translucent dark ruby red color. Smoky cedar, tobacco and berries on the nose. Restrained & balanced; cherry, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, mineral, tobacco and savory herbs on the palate. Surprising nuance and range for the $27 I paid last spring. Terrific value and a great place to explore BDX for the uninitiated. Tannins are about 85% resolved, mostly showing up on the finish. Once the tannins are fully resolved this will likely flirt with a 93pt rating. I can see this really rocking in 3-5 years. A modest 13% Acl.

Last bottle of a very decent half case. A little soft round the edges so possibly time to drink up. Delivers exactly what you woul expect, no more, no less. This is a good “mid-level” Claret

Very elegant Haut-Médoc – quite light and fine but that's sort of my style so I don't mind. Not sure about aging, but it drank well after about 4 hours in a decanter. Not super complex, but a very nice wine for the table. Not bad value at $28+ either.

Slow to open but showing nice structure and fruit after three hours. Quite austere in the mouth, but long dry finish.

A touch thin overall but very enjoyable. Earthy, tobacco, dried fruits on the nose. Dusty tannins, chalky, dried fruits. Nice length on the finish. Very smooth, subtle.

12/21/2018 - bboard Likes this wine: NR

Side by side tasting with 2009. Decanted 1 hours prior to first taste, drank of next 3 hours.

Med to med+ body, med length finish, enough fruit (but not in a modern way), tad of herbs, decent complexity, umph/structure.

Maybe the fruits in 2009 over shadows any complexity(?). About 50/50 split in the group of preference. But all agreed 2010 was more complex currently.

Tasted over three days. Unsurprisingly, tight and moderately oaky upon opening, and for the first several hours. Toward evening's end, the wine began to show delightfully edgy berry and mineral veins. It evolved into a traditional, if somewhat forward, Bordeaux by the second day. The berry vein of the first day turned distinctly to a blackcurrant and blackberry amalgam, which tantalizingly approached crème de cassis-like textural appeal. The wine also presented highly appealing gravel and mineral elements, at once compact and piercing, and which also enhanced the wine's impressive medium plus acid and medium tannin structure. It held its rustic form on the third day, showing every indication of moderate+ cellaring potential, no less than twelve to fifteen years.

In an uneven, somewhat forward and weighty vintage, this stands out for its traditionally edgy form. While it may improve, its approachability after several hours of air makes it difficult to stay away from now. Excellent QPR. 92-93.

Initial pour reveals light aroma of violets, orange rind, stewed fruit, sous bois. Very pleasant. After some time in the decanter, the bouquet opens up with cassis, anise, tobacco, mint, and a faint leather aroma. Taste is very pure with well integrated tannins and moderate acidity, but the aromatics are light and the wine struggles to stand up to a meal with more pronounced flavors.

Aerated 12 hours. Has aromas of black currants, cedar, plums, and cassis. Its medium bodied spherical, satiny black, red and blue fruits palate has got superb depth and balance. Ends long and tapering with some unresolved tannin and good acidity. 13%. V.impressive. Lay down 10 years.

Initially a lot of red fruit on the nose that faded to leather and smoke. Cassis, leather earthy palate. Fun to drink.
