The 2010 Right Bank is a dark purple color with deep red at edge. Aromas of blue violet flowers, bright red and raspberry compote, eucalyptus, and spices that include clove, anise and allspice.

The palate follows the nose and reveals a wonderful balance. The oak and grape tannins are seamless, the acid is bright but does not detract from how supple and approachable the wine is, even in its youth.

The wine has the framework to hold up for 30 years, but good luck waiting that long!
