dark garnet and medium body. very restrained in the nose, aromas of black plums are laced by vanilla and charcoal and very faint whiffs of herb. similarly restrained in the mouth, the fruit is subtle and largely accented by tobacco, cedar and spice. finishing a bit short at the moment… the tannins are polished if still rather grippy, and the acidity is still very much present.
not showing very well at the moment… this 2010 may be in a 'dumb phase'. i'd give it a handful of years to wake up, since clearly there's still quite a bit of life ahead for it.
13.5% AbV; 60% CS/ 40% ME.

This bottle was not great. Did not have the complexity or weight of the last one. Rather flat, with notes of cherries and licorice.

Very pretty, very suave. One expects prettiness from Margaux, regardless of vintage, except for the worst (seemingly, most years that end in 3 and 7 :-)). One hopes for more than suavity in great vintages, such as 2010.
In 2015, this featured an edginess. Now, it conveys a certain docility, which does not bode well for improvement. Young, great vintage, Left Bank Bordeaux should offer medium plus, or higher, acid and medium, or higher, tannin. In early adolescence, such wines should be tight, backwards, rude upon awakening, even somewhat mean. None of these elements could be discerned in this experience.
Overall, a very, very nice, elegant, marginally sophisticated wine, which should hold its current form for seven to ten years. Generally disappointing, on account of its open-knit, excessively polished soullessness.

At its peak - won't get any better - didn't decant and it did not need it.
