Dark and brooding still.
Think dark fruits and smooth but noticeable tannins.
For my tastes too young and will leave my next bottles for another few years.
That's if I can stop drinking them! (562 views) | | | Tasted by sean20waldo on 3/31/2024 & rated 91 points: Fresh style of Bordeaux. Dark fruit with a nice balanced mouthfeel. Undertone of spice and tobacco notes. Not a heavy 2010 Bordeaux and drinking well now (555 views) | | | Tasted by Andy2014 on 12/24/2023 & rated 92 points: Medium ruby. Med+ aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, pepper, leather, coffee. Med+ acidity, high tannins. Med+ finish. (1205 views) | | | Tasted by ThompsonandFrench on 9/2/2023 & rated 90 points: Medium to light claret. Some fruit, but vegetables too. Not sure the fruit is going to outlast the tannin. This goes on the drinking shelf. (1827 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 2/18/2023 & rated 90 points: Dark red, red rim. Vegetal nose, medium weight in the mouth, lingering fruit, tannic finish. (2511 views) | | | Tasted by Wineloon on 1/14/2023 & rated 94 points: One of the standout wines from the St John Vignerons lunch. Absolutely delicious claret. Fresh, floral, red berry fruit. A linear, precise and focussed wine. Very impressive at this stage. The freshness is quite astonishing. (2337 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Cooper on 10/30/2022 & rated 89 points: Drunk from half bottle to accompany roast beef. This has been tasting consistently for several years without improvement or deterioration. Fresh looking in the glass, blackcurrant colour, no visible ageing. Good blackcurrant fruit on the nose, also peppermint, aniseed, a bit veggie, spice. The palate is rich and smooth, full of ripe fruit. Everything I'd expect from a good Bordeaux, except no earthiness. Very enjoyable. Should still be good for another couple of years in half bottle. (2759 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 10/27/2022 & rated 89 points: Red edge, dark centre, light sediment. Muted nose, good fruit, mid length tannins beginning to get some hints of age. Very enjoyable. More fruit than normal. (2243 views) | | | Tasted by COWineLover on 8/26/2022 & rated 92 points: Pnp and ready to go. Served with filets. Immediately aromatic with minimal air displaying pronounced cedar, casssis, smoked alder, tobacco, and leather. On the palate, nicely integrated tannin where ripe black raspberry, anise, charcoal, and black plum fill in nicely on the attack. In the mid palate this thrusts an iron and cedar singed core rounded out by blackberries. A steady and persistent anise note returns on the finish along with a modestly chalky combination of black fruits.
Sadly this is my final bottle of four acquired en primeur. I have enjoyed the consistency and deft winemaking on display with every bottle I have consumed. I have not found this to be an 'elegant' wine, but more of a structured working class Bordeaux that was fairly priced ($38) and delivering a solid and reliable tasting experience.
Day 2 - The aromatics have really ramped up with cassis and violet owning the show tonight. On the palate the black fruits are on center stage with the charcoal taking a backseat and gliding into the finish. The anise is more restrained as the finish has been clipped somewhat. Good but a different experience than day 1.
I have had difficulty finding this with any of my normal purchasing channels, and I wish I could get my hands on more. Probably one of my favorite wines from 2010 to date.
Lovely stuff for what I note, and plenty of stuffing remains for those with the patience to allow this to continue its evolution. (2250 views) | | | Tasted by pavel_p on 2/19/2022 & rated 89 points: Pop and poured through an aerator. This came after a 2010 Reserve de Comtesse, and for me clearly a tick below the Pauillac. This was richer, rounder and softer. Medium to big body but moderate depth and lacking a bit in delineation. Almost a bit Napaesque. Pleasant and easy drinking. (2675 views) | | | Tasted by rwpalmer on 11/11/2021 & rated 88 points: Showing the tell-tale big, bold dark fruit nose of a 2010. For Angludet this is also quite large-scaled on the palate, though quite approachable. To me, Angludet seems to often reflect the vintage more faithfully than it's Margaux origins, and this is no exception. (2945 views) | | | Tasted by Atreyu on 10/29/2021 & rated 82 points: Way overripe. No margaux character. The only things saving it from a lower score are relatively fine grained tannins and respectable concentration. But the balance is simply not there and I cannot recommend it at any price. (3060 views) | | | Tasted by ThompsonandFrench on 10/27/2021: 1 hour decant through Rabbit. A nice drop. Plenty of claret character. Enjoyable if perhaps a touch of boiled jam? OK on Day 2 having been in decanter - suspect if vacuvin’d it wld hv been nicer than Day 1. Try another in 22. (2484 views) | | | Tasted by Andice on 6/25/2021 & rated 90 points: Pleasant claret just beginning to drink. Dark primary black fruit but with tannins mellowed nicely into a lactic profile. Not too complex but good for its level. (2975 views) | | | Tasted by gouldcampbell77 on 6/16/2021 & rated 89 points: Last of my case of six. Still dark and brooding. Excellent concentration of fresh smooth dark fruit but the oak is a little clumsy leading to a slightly bitter burnt toast finish. (2328 views) | | | Tasted by hargy on 5/30/2021 & rated 89 points: drunk over a couple of days, this is a big wine and needs more time to settle and lose some of its hard edges - should improve from here (1876 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Cooper on 2/14/2021 & rated 90 points: Drunk from half bottle to accompany beef wellington. A little sediment, so decanted one hour before drinking. This case continues to drink well, but I don't sense any further improvement, so it's either at its peak (in half bottle) or it's sleeping for a while, probably the former. Dark plum colour. Blackberries, plums, aniseed, charcoal, generally quite complex. But no Bordeaux earthiness. Good length. Very pleasant overall. (2701 views) | | | Tasted by COWineLover on 11/29/2020 & rated 90 points: First bottle from an en primeur purchase. Pnp. A dark plum color in the glass with no bricking evident. Very generous aromatics with immediately predominant creme de cassis, plums, sandalwood, cloves, a dusting of cocoa powder, and background notes of leather. On the attack this has chewy tannins that thrust ahead with a dark espresso dusted with cocoa. In the mid palate this changes course with plum and cassis before coasting into the finish with dried tarragon. Good persistence on the finish with a savory chewiness that lingers without being obtrusive.
This does not possess a silky elegance. It is more of a sturdy gridiron effort, but it works well for what it has to offer. Acceptable acidity gives this a decent balance overall, but I question whether this will maintain freshness beyond 2028.
My view is this is in a prime drinking window now though 2025, with maturity extending through 2028.
This was consumed before a 2010 Chateau du Tertre. I found the d’Angludet preferable comparing the two head to head. (3171 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 11/8/2020 & rated 89 points: Delicious. Dark centre, red rim, light sediment. Fruit on nose and in the mouth, tannin as you swallow but lingering flavour is classic d’Angludet savouriness. Long and balanced. No drying out or thinning. Very easy and enjoyable. (2220 views) | | | Tasted by colmanstephenson on 9/27/2020: A/: dark. Dark purple rim
N: “dense” wood and pepper. Some cake spice. Very inviting.
P: lighter entry then expected. Lithe palate. Lighter red fruits. Prominent but polished tannins. Beautiful fruit on finish.
=: elements are all there but not resolved or harmonious. I’ll track development over another 11 bottles.
Lunch with Cherrie and Nicola (2524 views) | | | Tasted by rupertg on 8/26/2020 & rated 89 points: Black centre, red rim, cork almost untouched, little sediment. Baseline, first of the dozen. Delightfully full, blackcurrant fruit at start, tooth furring tannins, trademark savoury element there, but swamped. There on the finish. Lasts well, no dryness. Hints of tobacco and ?quince? Full, ripe and very enjoyable. (2469 views) | | | Tasted by Cailles on 6/29/2020 & rated 90 points: Bordeaux 2010 - 10 Years On - 61 Reds: Bordeaux 2010 after 10 years. 61 reds, mostly big names, tasted blind. Average score 92.1 and lower than the more open and charming 2009 vintage last year (93.4). A few observations: A) It’s not yet the harmonious, complex, classic, clean vintage. Especially the masculine appellations of the left bank need at least 5 more years to just open up, potentially longer to soften. B) Left bank trumps right bank thanks to less detectable alcohol, cleaner lines and the two best wines of the vintage (Mouton, Margaux). C) Pomerol shines bright with many strong wines which can all mask the high alcohol levels (best AOC slightly ahead of Pauillac). D) As in 2009, there are several right banks already past peak, incl. big names (Duffau Lagarosse, Ausone). All in all, 2010 is a very good vintage with pockets of greatness but today 2009 shows more open and hence complex. More information, top and worst 10 list, appellation rankings from five participants in the story link.
TN: Never tried this Chateau before but quite a positive surprise when revealed as it was quite open with fresh red fruit and earthy notes with fine tannins but a slightly intruisve acidity. Not an overly interesting wine, nor overly precise but still pleasant.
Decanting: A two hours decant should be enough.
Group average: 91.2
Group rank: number 45 out of 61 wines (8192 views) | | | Tasted by Rallerboy888 on 6/23/2020: The bottle was opened about 3-4 hours in advance, and I'm now drinking the rest of it.
Very soft, refined nose, with a hint of leather, forest floor, plum, prunes, and a bit of oak. The palate is polished, and offers tannins that have integrated very well, soft fruit, and a pretty decent acidity. I do lack a bit of balance here, but perhaps it's just the fruit that's died out. The finish is somewhat acidic, but leaves hints of the mature fruit.
This wine is drinking pretty well now, and depending on what you like, it will probably keep well for another 10 years before dying out. It went well with sirloin and lamb chops. I think I prefer my wines a little younger, but this was good! (1924 views) | | | Tasted by sirpat00 on 6/21/2020 & rated 91 points: Grand Bordeaux 2010 ten years on tasting; 6/21/2020-6/22/2020 (Fribourg): Big Bordeaux 2010 2-day horizontal hosted by a private collector. My 3 main takeaways from the vintage were 1) more frequent perception of heat, 2) a slightly stronger left bank and a less consistent right bank, 3) while in general it is still too early to pop the 2010s, wine selection is key as some appear to be in decline already, especially on the right bank. The top wines were Mouton (99), Margaux (98) and VCC (98). The biggest positive surprise was Clos Manou (95). Biggest disappointment was Pape Clement (86). More details and complete tasting overview included in the tasting story.
Tasting note:
Dried herbal notes, some sweet spices, very nice red and blue fruit and a bit of leather. There was an acidic imbalance, but otherwise fruit forward. (3505 views) | | | Tasted by Keith Cooper on 5/14/2020 & rated 90 points: Drunk from half bottle. Opened and decanted 90 minutes. The colour is deep purple / burgundy. Woodland floor nose, uncooked blackcurrants, hint of coconut. Lovely palate, complex with good balance. More forest floor, good fruit and tertiary notes. I had expected some deep earthiness based on previous tastings, but this was absent. This is drinking well now, I'm not sure it will improve further in half bottle, but should be good for 2-3 years.

Their second label is Moulin d'AngludetRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanMédoc Vins du Médoc (Conseil des Vins du Médoc) - Read More about the Medoc
VdB
The eight precisely defined appellations of the whole of the Médoc (from Blanquefort Brook to the north of the Bordeaux built-up area, almost to the Pointe de Grave) may claim the Médoc appellation. But there is also a specific territory in the north of the peninsula which produces exclusively wines with this appellation. In the great majority, the Médocs come from the north of the peninsula. The great individuality of this region is that the number of vines has increased more recently here than elsewhere, apart from a few isolated spots where vines have grown for many years. Today, the size of the small estate has brought about the development of a powerful co-operative movement. Four co-operatives out of five belong to the group called Unimédoc which ensures aging, bottling and marketing a large proportion of their wines.Margaux Read more about Margaux and its wines As with a large part of the Bordeaux vineyards, vines first appeared in Margaux during the Gallo-Roman period.
In 1705 a text mentions Château Margaux . But we have to wait for the end of the eighteenth century and the coming of the earliest techniques in aging for the concept of wines of high quality to develop. The confirmation of this was the famous 1855 classification which recognized 21 Crus Classés in the Margaux appellation. One hundred years later, the Viticultural Federation and the Margaux appellation of controlled origin were born. The appellation, which stretches out over five communes, is actually unique in the Médoc in that it is the only one to contain all the range of wines, as rich as they are vast, from First Great Cru Classé to the Fifths, not forgetting its famous Crus Bourgeois and its Crus Artisans.
In Margaux there is a predominance of Garonne gravel on a central plateau of about 4 miles in length and one and a quarter wide. To the east-south-east, it overlooks the low lying land by the estuary. Its east side is marked by gentle, dry valleys and a succession of ridges.The layer of gravel in Margaux was spread out by a former Garonne in the early Quaternary. Rather large in size, it is mingled with shingle of average dimension and represents the finest ensemble of Günz gravel in the Haut-Médoc. It is on this ancient layer on a Tertiary terrace of limestone or clayey marl that the best Médoc crus lie. All the conditions for successful wine are present : a large amount of gravel and pebbles, poor soil which cannot retain water and deep rooted vines.
It is customary to say that Margaux wines are the "most feminine" in the Médoc, thus stressing their delicacy, suppleness and their fruity, elegant aromas. This does not affect their great propensity for aging; just the opposite, for the relatively thin terroir imparts tannins which give them long life. The other characteristic of these wines which combine an elegant vitality, subtlety and consistency, is their diversity and personality. Over and above the flavour which is their "common denominator", they present an exceptional palette of bouquets, fruity flavours which show up differently from one château to another.
Production conditions (Decree dated August 10 1954)
In order to have the right to the Margaux appellation of controlled origin, red wines must:
- come from the commune of Margaux, Cantenac, Soussans, Arsac and Labarde, "excluding the land which by the nature of its soil or because of its situation, is unfit to produce wine of this appellation".
- satisfy precise production conditions: grape-varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Cabernet-Franc, Carmenère, Merlot Noir, Petit Verdot, Cot or Malbec), minimum of sugar (178 grammes - 6.27 oz. - per litre of must) degree (an acquired 10°5) base yield (45 hectolitres per hectare).
