  Did a quick decant but opened up nicely after an hour or so. Very nice overall with good integration of flavors and fruit. Tannins are very mild and should allow some additional life but probably just moving past peak.

  Smelled, looked and tasted like alcoholic prune juice after only a half-hour decant. The first of a great many 2010 Bordeaux wines I’ve had that was over the hill.

  Praelum - Chateau Lassegue Vertical Trade Tasting (Praelum Wine Bistro): Deep ruby and a bit of orange fading on rim. Cassis, black plums, liquorice and black florals on the nose. Soft tannins, and full bodied, and plummy as well as a bit of pepper and greens. However it disappears very quickly at the back

  Crimson to brick rim. Very mineral-driven nose. Wet stone. Hot coals. Charred graphite/flint. Dried mushroom and herbs. Cedar. The only fruit I get on the nose at the moment is a light, macerated plum. Bright acidity on the entry which does open up more fruit flavors than the nose would indicate. Lively and high toned with red cherry, currant and pomegranate dominating. Some cinnamon and nutmeg spice rounding out the fruit with mere hints of the minerals, like graphite. Some plum notes. Dry mid palate to finish where the tannins show their relative youth. The acid adds nice complexity to what would otherwise be a super dry, almost harshly tannic wine. Perhaps with time or more decanting the nose would more closely match the flavors because honestly, the initial aroma impressions were a touch offputting.
