Vintage 2010 | This wine ticks all the boxes. Purple red with a brown rim, like Italian rooftiles. Cedar and tobacco in smell but surprisingly much red fruit for a wine of this age. Velvety structure. Fine example of right bank Noblesse. | paired with skirt steak

Great job on this Bordeaux! Needed to be decanted but with that it was awesome! Plum and black fruits galore, soft fleshy tannin structure. Couldn't get better!!!! Wow! Thanks Henry

Vintage 2010 - cedar, cherries, chocolate, very rich smell, laurel and tobacco, lots of potential

The most complex merlot I've ever had. Rich, dark fruit, fig paste, espresso, smoked meat, dark chocolate, mint leaf, and some serious backbone. Took an hour to open up and another hour to really get going, but once it did it was extraordinary.

Very different nose - burnt graphite, stewed blackberries, and a tinge of menthol or propane on the nose. Bright juiciness with a round but not presumptuous palate. Very different but nice.
