Pretty fragrant, damson nose. Balanced, fresh and full of fruit. Finishes nicely dry.

The 2010 Bernadotte is relatively subdued on the nose with earthy black fruit laced with smoke and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with rather scrawny tannins, moderate acidity but it is missing some cohesion and flesh towards the finish. A disappointing showing vis-à-vis previous bottles. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 La Bernadotte opens with a beguiling perfume of plum preserves, blueberry compote and blackcurrant pastilles plus hints of potpourri and dried lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a fair bit of chew defining the muscular black fruits, finishing with a lively lift.
Tasted blind. Mid garnet with bricky rim. Lots of mature aromas here – undergrowth and leather but also sweet spice. Chewy, thick tannins but not heavy and although it is all tertiary, it’s an attractive whole. (JH)
