  Give this wine credit for withstanding the test of time. It maintains its taste and character after 13 years in the keg and bottle. I can confirm much of the accuracy of the prior tasting notes. A mouthful of flavor, left to breath for an hour, the wine smooths out but still is an adventure. Mine was stored at 70 F. degrees. The time to drink this vintage might be now.

  Good colour & extract, pleasing cassis/cedar nose, some residual tannins but overall a good claret nearing maturity

  Consistent with previous bottle. Well balanced and smooth drinking Bordeaux. Oak vanillin coming through a bit but it's nicely integrated with the dark fruit and some initial secondary notes of tobacco and wet earth. Solid bottle from a very good vintage.

  This was my first sample of the outstanding 2010 vintage. Dark rudy red fruits. Nose of new oak, bell peppers and spices. On the palette, an open, well balanced and extremely well made bordeaux. If this is any indication of what’s to come in 2010, I’m excited as there’s so much potential from producers like this cru bourgeois and the big boys which are in the wings.
  
  Balanced, finesse, superb. Once again the reason why I believe Bordeaux is the world’s leader in winemaking.

  Musty and drab on opening and thought to be perhaps over the hill. After 90 minutes it bloomed and bloomed. Greater than the sum of its parts. Spicy concentrated fruit with flavors of intense cherry, cassis, vanilla and cedar unfolding in layers on a medium long palate. What a treat! Served at about 60 F and was most revealing a bit warmer (65 F).
