2010 Robert Foley Claret

Red Bordeaux Blend

MattLA Likes this wine: 94 points

September 15, 2015 - This puppy needs a massive decant. The first two hours of it being open are pretty useless. Then the wine comes together with some structure and dark fruits. Medium finish with the perfect hint of raisin on the back end. An enjoyable wine but it still does not really compete with the 2003 Foley Claret.

Sadly, we never have tried the 2003 Claret...but now are inspired given the 2010 is excellent. We have one more bottle...do you think it will lay down for a few more years?
