The second wine this afternoon enjoyed by a close friend and myself was the 2010 Chateau LaConfession St.Emillion Grand Cru.

The nose has savory notes of bing cherries, blackberry, stone, vanilla and smoke.

On the first sip gave notes of black cherry, blackberry, spice, mocha, coffee and a herbaceous note that I really like.

This wine has medium + acidity with medium + fine tannins that fill out the mouth nicely. This offering is 71% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc a typical right bank blend.

A very nice continuation of a wonderful afternoon with a close dear friend.

A beautiful old white tawny port - rich, it offers notes of prune and figs, almost light oxidation like madeira wine - an expressive citric acidity mark, fruity with great length, it is elegant and intense, light volatile character - a brilliant port 😋👏 #winelover #portwineday — 10 years ago

Once again 71 riche came out ahead of 71 tache. The wine kept opening. Luscious fruit that was secondary but still with a lot of power — 10 years ago
