CHÂTEAU DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU 2010 (2)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn. 2 x marked labels.
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+
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2010 (2)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 1 x bn. 1 x vts. 2 x marked labels.
The wine out distances both Leoville Las Cases and Leoville Barton, but all three of them are compelling efforts. Full-bodied, dense purple in color, with floral notes intermixed with blackberries, cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this full-bodied, legendary effort is long and opulent, with wonderfully abundant yet sweet tannin, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and a thrilling, nearly one-minute finish. This spectacular effort from Poyferre that should drink well for 30+ years. February 2013 WA 98+
