Fifth Growth. Cinquieme Grand Cru Classe in 1855.
Expert tasting note: (2010 vintage) "Deep. dark, but not quite opaque ruby-red color. A classic Bordeaux nose of dusty black-fruit (loganberry). The palate displays jammy loganberry/cassis fruit Excellent acidity gives the tannins real crunch. Alcohol is balanced to warm & the finish is long but a little drying." - 11/14 DCAMW

- Vintage Notes
-
This is another very young wine which benefits from decanting. Its aromas are marked by pencil lead, black fruit and cigars. The round first impressions in the mouth are due to the subtlety of the Cabernets which express themselves with finesse and complexity, displaying spice bread flavors. This is a vintage of great sunshine which produced mature and powerful tannins marked by freshness. There’s no need to rush this wine, it will still be great in ten years. It can only get better with age, but it already shows great class!

Vintage quality: Legendary
Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep
The 2010 vintage for Bordeaux is recognized as legendary across the board.
A truly great year, despite an exceedingly dry growing season that was not without its problems but, in the end, delivered.
A cold winter delayed the initial vine growth, which slo...
