Bon Bordeaux bien fait, riche, sur les fruits rouges. Encore une fois, je m’aperçois que les 2010 sont riches, dense et vraiment savoureux.

Tres bien fait, arome tres typique Bordeaux. On voit l’opulence du millésime, le vin a une belle structure et meme tres approchable en ce moment

Classic bordeaux, earthy in the nose and smooth tannins

I adore St Emillon omg this one is absolutely peak, lush potting soil, petrichor, and dried herbs on the nose. Beautiful palate and finish, touch of limestone, perhaps a teeny bit too much oak, but I like it.

Lots of leather and graphite, it’s smoothed out nicely.

Lovely and well structured Saint-Emilion in great year. Everything is here and in place. Dark black fruits, plum, berries, black cherries and touches of smoke, tar and cassis. Lovely violets on the nose with hints of spice and minerals of the palate. Smooth tannins. Ready now - I doubt this will develop substantially going forward - so enjoy while everything is so beautifully integrated.

The alcohol is too present. Not a very complex taste.
