HWS Bordeaux 2009 vs 2010 (By me): The bouquet is still a bit lactic, but also luxurious with beautiful oak and cedar and some bell pepper. On the palate juicy red and dark berries, fresh acidity and round tannin. An elegant and delicious wine of great finesse. Very young maturity stage now.

Medium ruby with slight brickish tinge. Bright bouquet, with aromas of bell pepper, blackberry, cassis, iron, plum, stone. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. Grippy yet supple tannins with lengthy finish. Coming from a magnum bottle, still needs more time to develop, but otherwise drinking well. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc.

Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Pauillac and St. Julien (By me @ the factory): Uncorked the day before the tasting and double decanted approx. 3 hours prior to the tasting. In the bouquet dark berries, some cherries, well dosed oak, graphite and cigar box. Same on the palate, very juicy acidity, round tannin with a pleasant bite, a touch of pleasant sweetness and a great length. Delicious wine in its young maturity stage and will be great over the next decade at least.

Almost 4 years since my last review, this bottle was surprisingly firm. Fruit was tight and somewhat restrained. I was expecting a little more roundness on the palate but there's still a long future ahead. Mineral, graphite/pencil lead with cherry fruit, fine balance and terroir.

Gave the bottle a good decanting. the cork was sound and there was a fair amount of sediment. The wine was in good shape and very enjoyable over two days. It's in a good place for drinking now but should hold for several more years.
