Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you the magnificent 2010 Bois de Boursan Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Felix. Hailing from the prestigious Chateauneuf du Pape appellation in the Southern Rhone region of France, this wine is a true masterpiece.

In the glass, this wine showcases a deep, opaque ruby-purple color that hints at the intensity and richness within. The nose is an enchanting bouquet of aromas, with notes of root beer, beet root, and roasted Provencal herbs dancing alongside black currants and blackberries. As you take your first sip, you'll be captivated by the full-bodied and concentrated nature of this wine. It envelops the palate with sumptuous fruit flavors, revealing layer after layer of complexity.

The 2010 Cuvee des Felix is a wine of remarkable precision and uplift. Its big, bold flavors are perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity that adds brightness and vitality. The finish is nothing short of sensational, lingering on the palate for a jaw-dropping 40+ seconds. This wine is a true testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of Bois de Boursan.

Renowned wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr. was equally impressed with this masterpiece, awarding it an astounding score of 95 points. He praised its fabulous fruit, deep texture, and multi-layered complexity. Another esteemed critic, Jeb Dunnuck, bestowed a score of 96+ points, calling it a "knockout bottle" and one of the stars of the vintage. Jeff Leve, from TheWineCellarInsider.com, also showered it with praise, awarding it a score of 94 points and highlighting its ripe, lusty black raspberries, peppery spice, and luscious finish.

The 2010 Bois de Boursan Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Felix is a wine that demands attention and reverence. It is drinking beautifully now, but its potential for further aging is undeniable. I recommend enjoying it over the next 15+ years to fully experience its evolution and complexity. Cheers to the artistry of Bois de Boursan!
