Medium ruby appearance. Medium + nose of cassis, blackcurrant, dark plum. Already some tertiary notes of leather, mushroom, tobacco. Medium + acid, medium + tannin. Full bodied with medium + flavor intensity. Flavor profile on the palate is a little brighter than on the nose with the plummy merlot character more pronounced. Medium + finish. Generally speaking, this fundamentally still retains the vibrant, voluptuous character of the wine I remember tasting just after bottling just further down the line in development. I think you can hold for another 10 years but it’ll be for a different experience, depending on preference, rather than one that is necessarily better.

Medium ruby appearance. Medium + intensity nose of cassis, dark plum, blackcurrant leaf, tobacco, touch of mint. Some emerging tertiary aromas of leather, pencil lead. Very nice silky mouthfeel on the palate. Still a little tight. Full bodied. Medium + flavour intensity. Medium + acid. High, ripe, dusty tannin that as yet is not close to being fully resolved. Medium + finish that's just lacking some complexity at the moment. I'll drink another bottle in the short term as a little undecided on the expected evolution of this.

Nice midweight Bordeaux. Lifted, herbal character due to the high share of Cabernet Franc. Absolutely ready, but not the complexity I hoped for. I will leave the rest of my bottles for 5 years

CdB Dinner (Christy's): Tasted side by side the 2010
Very approachable and delicious. This has come together at this point, can it age further, I am sure, but this is drinking beautifully. The structure is there but let the fruit and delicate nature of Pauillac really shine through.

This has really picked up a lot of complexity and weight over the past few years. Now, you find a wine packed with cassis, blackberries, cedar, and tobacco. Medium/full-bodied, refined, soft, lush, and inviting on the palate, with creamy tannins that come in on the back end of the currant-filled finish. This is a good time to start opening your bottles. Drink from 2023-2040.
