  Decanted. Deep, dark cherry-skin colour with garnet fringe. At 1 hour, cool fruit, concentrated, but slightly bitter tannin. A few minutes later, coffee and cassis spell cabernet sauvignon. At 2 hours, the quality barrique shows its poise. Very nicely concentrated, but I'd like to see more length. Which comes not long after, at which point it is clear that I am very close to Cru Classé quality here, and not for the first time with Sénéjac in 2010. Paired with stewed beef ribs, which brings out the sweetness, but after the meal the sweetness dissipates and the wine tightens-up. I'm finding the 2010 Cru Bourgeois generally are not linear in their development and still not fully open for maximum pleasure. I'll leave my other bottles of Sénéjac 2010 untouched for at least another year. Fine with food, but a half-notch lower at very good plus without it.

  Crazy good QPR! $18 on futures a million years ago. One hour decant and followed for another 2. This was all about its medium density of black currant, black plum, espresso, cigar, and loam notes. Classic, fun and at peak, the tannins are resolved. Now - 2026.

  A strikingly traditional Left Bank offering to grace any aficionado's table, on any day, alongside any other wine. Reminiscent of d'Armailhac terroir. Holding form nicely. Off-the-chain QPR!

  Savoury this had a beguiling cigar box bouquet which when repeated on the palate enriched blackcurrant and plum fruit. Fully integrated and perfectly proportioned, the tannins were perfectly smooth with a sublime mocha finish. Not just drinking at its peak but outperforms many other Bordeaux chateaux at twice the price. Utterly superb. CHP 92 pts
