Note di degustazione
The 2010 Roc De Cambes is mostly Merlot yet has a solid chunk of Cabernet Sauvignon, all coming from a hillside parcel. Smoky tobacco, graphite, red and black fruits, and chocolate notes define this medium to full-bodied wine that’s concentrated, has still present tannins, and outstanding length. Give bottles some air if drinking any time soon. Drink 2025-2035.

The 2010 Roc de Cambes has a high-toned floral bouquet with rose petal and violet scents, but missing some complexity and delineation. The aromatics feel “blocky”. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, quite extracted towards the finish with dates and figgy notes infusing the black fruit. It just does not kick on and lacks some tension. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Roc de Cambes opens with leather and animal notions over a core of baked plums and Black Forest cake plus suggestions of bouquet garni and tilled soil. Full-bodied, the palate is solidly constructed with firm, chewy tannins and loads of freshness supporting the generous black fruit preserves, finishing on a compelling earthy/meaty note.
Tasted blind. Deep garnet with brick rim. Still has masses of sweet black fruit on the nose as well as all that undergrowth. Ripe and sweet. A bit tough on the palate. A big tannic wine that finishes a little bit hard, perhaps the combination of alcohol and tannins? I generally rather like this wine so I was a bit disappointed when I realised what it was. I don’t think the Mitjavile wines shine (for me) in this sort of context (cf my note on Tertre Roteboeuf 2010 , also tasted blind today). (JH)
