  Erstaunlich kühles Aroma. Cassis und dunkle Waldbeeren. Ätherische Reifenoten. Tabak. Mittlelgewichtig. Saftige Frucht. Mit Luft entwickeln sich auch die etwas stumpfen Tannine. Dann sehr schön balanciert. Gastronomischer Typ mit gutem Trinkfluss. jetzt bis 2023

  If you were imagining drinking a 2010 cru bourgeoise St Emilion with some pretty big tannins that's still good on day two, this is exactly what you'd imagine. A little high-pitched but still a great value.

  Not the best 2010 I’ve had, but strong nonetheless. Might be softer in another three years, but half an hour in a wide decanter made it very drinkable.
  
  Eucalyptus and anise in the nose. Some dark fruit on the pallet, but a bit disappointed by the finish. Drank paired with Beef Wellington, which was a perfectly appropriate pairing. Very good, but short of WOW!

  Immediately one can tell 2010 by the aroma, complexity and structure. Straight As across the board... Delicious ripe succulent cherry and currant dominate the wine. Full bodied and explosive in the mouth. Up front this does suggest right bank here as it seems merlot dominant in orientation, but slightly on the heavy side, then things softens out on the finish. An excellent offering indeed, great QPR.. This baby has all the stuffing at a fraction of the cost of bigger wines. Great value play without any sacrifice of structure or complexity. 2010 remains the benchmark of recent vintages... Can't imagine how good things will get with time, but i don't think i will wait for that ... Drink up!!! Most 2010s need time, this one is good to go now!!!
