2010: This impressive 2010 is one of the most powerful rich wines I have ever tasted from this over-achieving estate in the northern sector of the Medoc. A blend of 50% Merlot 33% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot that achieved 14.2% natural alcohol (a record at this property) it boasts an inky/blue/purple color along with a sweet perfume of blueberry liqueur acacia flowers graphite espresso roast and white chocolate. The complex aromatics are followed by a deep medium to full-bodied wine with outstanding concentration and texture. It should drink well for a decade or more.
