Note di degustazione
(this was the last 2010 to be bottled here, in July of 2012): Good bright red. Very fresh aromas of cherry, rose petal, menthol and spicy oak. Juicy on entry, then powerfully structured in the middle, with menthol, mineral and spice flavors showing buns of steel. Little in the way of easy sweetness here. Finishes with a powerful spine of chewy, building tannins and an element of fresh herbs. According to winemaker Gublin, this wine has been getting more floral in recent vintages, as the presence of grass between the rows now absorbs excess water. Austere today but I would expect this to merit a higher score with ten years of aging.

Quite rubbery tannins. Compact fruit. Mean, brooding style. Not ready, and therefore looks a bit skew-whiff at present. Doubtless, it should improve. (RH)
(12.3% potential alcohol chaptalized to 12.6%; from fruit harvested on September 30; the malo finished just three weeks ago): Good bright red-ruby. Very primary, reduced nose offers black cherry, menthol, mint and spices. Tightly wound and cool, even a bit youthfully imploded; still a bit rigid following the late malo. Densely packed, tannic and currently dominated by its structure. Hard to assess today, and less sweet than most of the 2010s at this address.
