Wonderful Bordeaux-style cab from Repri. This 2010 Left Bank held up well. Decanted for an hour before drinking. Dark ruby color in the glass with long legs. Dark berry aromas and wonderful mouthfeel with finish of black licorice and eucalyptus. Tannins and acidity well balanced.

Vice nice Bordeaux blend (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec). Well balanced, ruby red in the glass and fruit forward flavors of dark cherries with a nice finish of slight hints of pepper and chocolate. Can’t wait to try my next bottle.

This particular bottle presented with VA-like aromas and flavors that were too much for my taste. I’m particularly sensitive. I have several more bottles of the same vintage to try over the next year
Looking past that, still a good acidity and nice long, tannin (nicely integrated) backbone. Enjoyed in front of the fire.

Finesse and power are extremely balanced here. Ripe and juicy red and black fruit, plum, black cherry. Subtle earthiness comes in on the finish. Excellent! Drinking well now but can easily last another decade plus.
