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

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

Pretty plum and berry aromas with hints of sweet tobacco and berries

power and markedly firm 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.
