The 2010 Clarets: A Modern Classic (Jul 2013)

Bright ruby-red. The nose offers a mix of decadent plum, green pepper and fresh herbs. On the palate, dark cherry and spice flavors are lifted by peppery herbs and flowers and framed by solid acidity. The finish is a tad diffuse and dry. There’s an overripe/underripe quality to this second wine: I wanted a bit more fruit.
