Robe presque noire, opaque. Nez avec un agréable fruité, lacté, de mûres. Soyeux en bouche avec des notes de mûres, tout en délicatesse. Puis émergent des tannins, lui donnant du caractère. Belle sensation fruitée, mais un vin un peu trop poli, avec une longueur moyenne. Laisse un creux relatif en fin de bouche. Je dirai à boire dans les 2-3 ans.

HWS Bordeaux 2009 vs 2010 (By me): Beautiful bouquet with cherries and berries like e.g. blackberries, a bit herbaceous and a pleasant dose of oak. On the palate juicy acidity and some green impressions, beautiful acidity and tannin. The wine is in its young maturity stage and already very tempting with definitely 3+ years of future ahead.

Still some deep ruby. Heading a little toward garnet. Intense fruit. Rich and rounded. Blackcurrant. Long. Warming baking spices in evidence: vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Full bodied. Warming but not hot. Good structure. Still there but integrated. This is drinking really well now, but I think will still age nicely. Still primary and secondary. Yum.
PS it benefited a lot from a good decant- 1hr plus. Some of the riper notes do blow off and soften, which is benefit. It does show riper fruit for sure than some vintages.

Corked. Underneath a well structured wine still full of life
