CHÂTEAU CALON-SÉGUR 2010 (2)
Saint-Estèphe. 3ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 2 x marked labels.
The 2010 is performing well. With Cabernet Sauvignon dominating the blend, the wine has a dense plum/purple color along with notes of underbrush, black currants, plum, licorice, smoky charcuterie and some roasted herbs in the background. Full-bodied, moderately tannic and set for an extremely long life, this will not be a wine to please those looking for immediate gratification. Rather, I would suspect this wine will close down even further in bottle and, despite its full-bodied, powerful, massive size, it will need at least a decade of cellaring before it is accessible. This is another 2010 capable of lasting 35-50 years. February 2013 Drink: 2013-2063 WA 94+ JS 96
CHÂTEAU DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU 2010 (3)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
2 x scraped labels. 1 x stained label.
The classic wet rock, creme de cassis, subtle oak and gravelly stoniness of the vineyard come through in this spectacular, full-bodied, gorgeously pure and intense effort. This is wine for the ages that should be forgotten for at least a decade. February 2013 Drink: 2023-2053 WA 98+
