More detailed tasting notes will arrive soon but in summary...
This is a classic Bordeaux Rouge from Pessac-Léognan, fragrant, full of black fruit flavours & silky in texture. For 2010 it's 60% Cabernet Sauvignon & 40% Merlot but as seems to be the case for many Left Bank Bordeaux producers the blend changed to Merlot dominant 59% vs 41% Cabernet Sauvignon for the 2014 vintage.
The producer suggests drinking this wine with any grilled or roasted meats and pears poached in wine with spices
"Deep red ruby color. Intense nose of red berries (blackcurrant, blueberry and cherries) and gingerbread. Spice and liquorice on the palate with elegant and well-ripened tannins, refined oak aromas and a smoky note on the finish. Impressive length. This wine can be aged for many years."

"Dark glowing crimson. Savoury, appetising and sleek on the nose. Very seductive and silky with beautifully ripe, seamless fruit and well judged tannins underneath. Sufficient though by no means excessive acidity. Very smart."

"High intensity, more so than many this year, with lovely vibrant violet reflections. Cloves, oak edging, charcoal and dark chocolate from the Cabernet-dominated blend. Extraction is clearly ambitious but a little bulky in structure, the tannins a touch solid. Modern in style, should have a good ten years enjoyable drinking. The recent progression at the property is on display and it offers excellent value."
