Weekly tasting group #210; Bordeaux: the lesser gods. (@ WW): Beautiful bouquet with dark forest fruits, sweet spices, smoke, some luxurious oak, toast, forest floor and mushrooms. On the palate dark berries, chocolate, sweet spices like cinnamon, toast and coffee. This wine is at its perfect peak now and a great pleasure to drink.

Very nice indeed for the vintage and price. Typical, well-made Medoc. Dark cherries, some tobacco, even some fig jam that was a bit unexpected. Judicious treatment w/ oak. Super solid weeknight Bx. This has aged very well and still has another 5+ years in it.

PNP, Big, rich, dark, mondern style medoc, loads of blackberries, plums, still tannic, with hints of vanilla. Not sure of the blend, but I would guess merlot is the dominate grape. This bottle was much better that the previous tasted 9/09 and based on this one still has plenty of life left.

Ganz weich und harmonisch, gut eingebundene Tannine. Schöne Aromen von Kirsche und schwarzen Joahnnisbeeren - hat Freude gemacht und Lust auf die nächste Flasche.
