Great value for mature ready to drink, medium bodied Bordeaux. Just the fact that you can get a 2010 Graves wine at this price is a marvel. Black sweet plums, cedar, and lots of tobacco and good wood. Perfectly present, soft tannins. Ready, ready, ready...DRINK!
PS_Great introductory bordeaux and a crowd pleaser at the same time. Its a winner.

Day 1: Nose of plum with herbs, touch of oak & floral. Tastes had same notes but was still green/stemmy. Smooth & not as tannic given the stemminess. Needed more time in the bottle. Day 5: Vacuum pump & refrigerated. Nose has more fruit & tastes less stemmy. Flavors are more integrated. Like Day 1, needs more time in the bottle. Should have waited to open. Might have been a good QPR for every day table wine at this price. Day 14: Didn't get a chance to finish bottle. Last 25% of bottle was frozen to use in cooking.

Minor Bordeaux Flight with Nice Values (SF Wine Trading Company): Light ruby. Light to medium weight, lightly woody. Green olive, gently sweet fruit, moderate tannin. Fairly supple, enjoyable now.
