Two bottles of the 2010 Grand Puy-Lacoste were opened

because it is mostly Cabernet Franc from a very chalky vineyard in Gualtallary at 1

potentially long-lived wine

In addition to being a highly regarded vintage with perfectly balanced weather conditions

intense and textured flavors that are supple on the attack but firm up quickly on the complex and long finish

Sylvain Pataille, Bourgogne Chapitre other_regions_australia Two bottles of the 2010(80% whole cluster). A distinctly spicy nose reflects notes of Asian style tea, black cherry, cassis and floral hints along with a whisper of herbal tea. The lilting and gorgeously textured middle weight flavors also possess really lovely detail and energy while delivering excellent length on the stony, youthfully austere and very firm finale. This too is one to buy and cellar. Lovely juice.
