Not as good as the last one - it has become a little syrupy. Still very concentrated, with good spicy tastes as befits the vintage, but tasting it alongside a Citran 2010 showed how much better the latter was. So ok and very drinkable, but no more.

Yet another CB winner in 2010: ripe, juicy, without the spice others have but with a deep, well-delineated blend of dark fruits and a promise of further improvement.

With lunch at Auberge les Vignes; potent pear; young, simple, and overly sweet/cloying at this stage
