My last bottle. Pnp. Still showing great with rich round red and black fruit, and spices. Unlike some other 2010, tannins are integrated and the wine made in a forward style. Medium length. Would drink over the next 3-4 years to enjoy the juicy and youthful fruit

Pnp at home after dinner. Medium garnet with fairly wide translucent rim. Plenty of earthy notes immediately upon opening, later this is dominated by its clear bright red and dark fruit, which is also due to the high acidity, plenty of herbs and spices. Very pretty and a pleasure to drink now, with the moderate length and the, a touch too high acidity being the only real shortcomings - at least when enjoyed without any food - from my perspective

Muted but insistent aromas of raspberries and herbs, not heavy, but pure and clean and fine. Cool palate, racy with a lot of vibration, dark fruit, tar, praline, black cherry, cassis and raspberry. Lot of acidity, with silky, fine-grained tannins. Salty and rocky minerality as one would expect from this stony vineyard, which in 2010 dominates the fruit more than in 2009. First after 2.5 hours does the wine's fruit become a very sharp and concentrated fulmination of its red components, mostly raspberries. After 3 hours the wine starts to sink again in its mineral components. Very aristocratic and elegant and smooth wine.

@Fred_Lund: Champs Perdeix is a well situated vinyard adjecent La Tache. Still, there is not much in common with the Grand Cru.
