| A | ||||
| Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux AC (Zweitwein Cht. Palmer) | ||||
| Beschreibung Decanter: Fragrant wild violets nose, wonderful weight and texture, succulence and firmness, definitely not a second wine | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: For many of the classified growths in the Medoc, the quality of the second wines has soared over the last 5-6 years, and Alter Ego is no exception. The 2010 Alter Ego is the richest ever made. Relatively high in alcohol, this is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Merlot. Thick and juicy, its black fruits intermixed with acacia flowers, camphor, and subtle smoky notes are followed by a plump, corpulent style of wine with loads of fruit, glycerin and texture. | ||||

| Château d'Armailhac, 5ème Cru Classé Pauillac | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot. 45 hl/ha, 33% neue Fässer. Tolle Fruchtsüße inmitten einer sehr guten Struktur. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2010 achieved in excess of 14% natural alcohol. It exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with a pronounced nose of underbrush, cedarwood, licorice and black currants. This attractive, elegant, mid-weight Pauillac should be drinkable early in life and last for 15+ years. | ||||

| Château Beaumont, Haut Médoc AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, Ertrag 47 hl/ha. Schönes, dunkles Rubin. Der Duft tendiert in Richtung Heidelbeeren. Angenehm fruchtig, er hat durchaus Tiefe und passendenden Gerbstoff. | ||||
| Beschreibung Jancis Robinson: Distinctive autumnal notes on the nose. Fresh and vital and relatively lightweight but very serious. Round and polished on the palate. Full of appeal and with just a but of leafiness to stop it being sickly. Lots of pure pleasure and confident attack here. Appetising. Sinewy. | ||||

| Château Beauregard, Pomerol AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc; 45 hl/ha. 60% neue Barriques. Der Wein verfügt über eine frische Frucht und im Kern eine auffallende Fruchtsüße und im Ausgleich eine feine Säure. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: An opaque purple-colored, dense, tannic, powerful Pomerol, the 2010 Beauregard exhibits a muscular framework, abundant tannin and impressive concentration as well as sweet fruit. Atypically backward for a Pomerol, it requires 3-5 years of cellaring and should drink well for two decades. Tasted twice. | ||||
| Kretschmer | Robert Parker | J. Robinson | Decanter | René Gabriel |
| 17^/20 | 89-91/100 | 16/20 | 17/20 | --/20 |
| Château Bel Air La Royère, Premières Côtes de Blaye AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 60% Merlot, 40% Malbec. Ca. 40 hl/ha. Die Faszination stammt vom hohen Malbec-Anteil (wohl der höchste in Bordeaux). Im Duft Veilchen, Brombeeren, Gewürze, Schwarzer Pfeffer. Im Mund runde, weiche Frucht mit reifem Gerbstoff. Beachtliche Länge. | ||||

| Château Belgrave, 5ème Cru Classé Haut-Médoc | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: One of the finest Belgraves I have ever tasted, this sleeper of the vintage boasts an opaque purple color along with abundant aromas of blackberries and cassis, a classy mid-palate, medium to full-bodied flavors, superb depth and crisp freshness as well as liveliness. Over recent years the large negociant firm of Dourthe has been making improvements and resurrecting the quality of this forgotten Medoc classified growth. The 2010 will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and should keep for 15 or more. Drink 2013-2028 | ||||
| Beschreibung René Gabriel: Dieses Haut-Médoc Château besticht jedes Jahr durch sehr hohe Qualität und auch der 2010er reiht sich nahtlos mit ein: dunkles Granat, verführerisches, dichtes Bouquet nach Weichselkirsche, Edelholz, viel Tabak, herrliche Frische am Gaumen, dunkle Schokolade, stützendes, reifes Tannin, engmaschig, langes Finale. | ||||

| Château Brane-Cantenac, 2ème Cru Classé Margaux | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc; 41 hl/ha, 65% neue Barriques. Schon in der Nase imponiert die tolle Aromatik von blauen und schwarzen Beeren, besonders Brombeeren. Im Mund das gleiche Spiel. Dabei ist er stoffig und dicht. Einer meiner Favoriten | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: After nearly two decades of mediocre performances, Brane Cantenac has been doing impressive work over the last decade. While the 2010 may not eclipse the 2009 or 2005, it is an exceptional wine from proprietor Henri Lurton. A dense purple color is accompanied by a floral-scented bouquet revealing notes of licorice, graphite and red as well as black currants. Layered, rich and concentrated, this impressively constructed, seamless Margaux has plenty of tannin, but it is buried under the extravagant fruit and glycerin. This rich, pure, authoritative 2010 should drink well young yet keep for 25-30+ years. Drink 2011-2041 | ||||

| Château Cambon la Pelouse, Cru Bourgeois Superieur, Haut-Médoc | ||||
| Beschreibung René Gabriel: Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Süsses, ausladendes Bouquet, Pflaumen und rote Beeren, alles verpackt in einer harmonischen Süsse. Im Gaumen mit einer dezent pikanten Säure beginnend, diese gibt dem Wein Rasse und Länge. Das zweite Mal im Vergleich mit 200 anderen Cru Bourgeois auf d'Agassac getestet. Hier seine Grösse nochmals beweisend. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: A major sleeper of the vintage from this 100-acre vineyard near Cantemerle and Giscours, the 2010 is a blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot produced under the guidance of well-known consultant, Claude Gros. An opaque ruby/purple color is followed by sweet black raspberry, black cherry and black currant fruit notes intermixed with notions of licorice and graphite. Medium to full-bodied and supple textured, this sexy Bordeaux should be consumed over the next 5-8 years. Drink 2011-2019 | ||||

| Château Canon-la-Gaffeliere, St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 Tage fermentiert, 70% neue Barriques. Graf Neipperg lässt nichts anbrennen! Der Duft ist konzentriert und trägt feine Züge. Im Mund spürt man diese Feinheit, die mit Finesse gepaart ist. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: One of the first to work with the now famous Stephane Derenoncourt, proprietor Stephan von Neipperg continues to fashion some of the most consistently outstanding wines in Bordeaux. This 2010, a blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon made from tiny yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare, achieved 14.5% natural alcohol – perhaps the highest Canon La Gaffeliere has ever achieved. Dense, sweet, open-knit black cherry, licorice, incense and cassis aromas soar from the glass of this opaque purple-colored offering. Full-bodied, pure and undeniably sexy yet larger-scaled than normal, this beautiful wine should drink well for 15 or more years. Drink 2011-2026 | ||||

| 19/20 | 92-94/100 | 17-/20 | 18/20 | 19/20 |
| Château Cantenac Brown, 3ème Cru Classé Margaux | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot. 44 hl/ha, 60% neue Barriques, 45% für Erstwein. Süßer Fruchtkern durch perfekte Ausreifung des Lesegutes. Ein deutliches, reifes Tannin bringt Struktur in den Wein. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: One of the finest Cantenac Browns made in the last half century, the 2010 may be even more impressive than the 2009. Sweet, fat notes of blackberries, forest floor and earth emerge from this inky/purple-colored beauty. The tannins are slightly more serious and elevated than in the 2009, but the big, bold, full-bodied 2010 represents a remarkable turn around for this estate, which has now produced three straight top-flight vintages. It should drink well for 25-35 years. Drink 2011-2046. | ||||
| Kretschmer | Robert Parker | J. Robinson | Decanter | René Gabriel |
| 17/20 | 92-94/100 | 15,5/20 | 17,5/20 | 18/20 |
| Château Citran, Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 55% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc. 47 hl/ha. Mittleres Rubin, schöner Duft nach dunklen Beeren, besonders Heidelbeeren. Im Mund zeigt er eine ausgeglichene, tiefe Frucht mit genügend Tannin. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The Citran 10 has a very ripe, opulent bouquet with ripe black fruits, chestnut and a touch of leather, a second sample at the UGC more pure with expressive red rather than black fruits (sunny day!) The palate is medium-bodied with sharp tannins on the entry, firm grip, masculine and tannic towards the finish that is a little bony at the moment. Hopefully this will flesh out during its elevage. Tasted April 2011. | ||||
| Kretschmer | Robert Parker | J. Robinson | Decanter | René Gabriel |
| 16-17/20 | 85-87/100 | 16,5/20 | 16/20 | 17/20 |
| Château Clerc-Milon, 5ème Cru Pauillac | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: Komprimiertes Duftgemisch aus Cassis, Brombeeren, Rauch, Eiche und ein Hauch Fleisch. Überwältigend in der Summierung der Komponenten. Der Wein hat einen kräftigen Körper und adäquates Tannin. Hat mir so gut wie Mouton gefallen. Best: 2016-2028 | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The powerful 2010 is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and the balance mostly Merlot except for dollops of Petit Verdot and Carmenere that achieved 14.5% natural alcohol - a record at Clerc Milon. An intense purple color is followed by notes of incense, creme de cassis and flowers and a broad, rich wine with superb purity, concentration and depth. This layered, expansive effort could turn out to be one of the finest this estate has ever made. Give it 3-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades. Drink 2014-2034 | ||||

| Château Clinet, Pomerol AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 38 hl/ha, 60% neue Barriques. Welch schönes, sinnliches Duftspiel. Am Gaumen feinster Stoff, dicht und einfach himmlisch. Für mich ist er der Überflieger der Region. | ||||
| Beschreibung Neal Martin: Tasted somewhere (but I cannot remember exactly where) the Clinet 2010 has a precocious nose that soon settles in the glass: very pure dark cherry and blueberry fruit with touches of black olive and vanilla, building in intensity but remaining composed. The palate is full-bodied with ripe “clingy” tannins that do not want to let go and yet the texture of smooth and seductive. Don’t be fooled by the first half. Those tannins kick in towards the second with a surprising dry, taut, tar-tinged finish. This is a complex Clinet that will really show its true colours after bottling. Well done Ronan! | ||||

| Clos des Jacobins, St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 75% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Sehr dunkles Rot. Im Duft schwere Blütentöne. Kräftige Frucht, beeindruckende Struktur. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Consulting winemaker Dr. Alain Raynaud has produced a beautiful dense ruby/purple-colored effort offering abundant aromas of licorice, black currants, crushed rocks and flowers. Medium to full-bodied with fresh acids, high but ripe tannins and a long finish, this cuvee is usually fairly priced. It should drink well for 15+ years. [...] | ||||

| 18/20 | 90-92/100 | 16/20 | 17/20 | 17/20 |
| Clos Haut-Peyraguey, Cru Classé Sauternes | ||||
| Beschreibung Neal Martin: The Clos Haut Peyraguey has a tight, well-defined bouquet with subtle notes of honey, lime flower and brioche. The palate is medium-bodied with fine acidity and a tangible sense of tension, with touches of spice and lemongrass towards the finish. This is an intellectual Clos Haut Peyraguey that might surprise a few people after bottling. | ||||

| Clos Louie, Côtes du Castillon AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: Dieses Jahr ganz rar! Nur 19 hl pro Hektar. Aus 70% Merlot und Malbec und dies von ganz alten Reben + 30% Cabernet-Franc. 100 % neue Barriques. | ||||
| Kretschmer | Robert Parker | J. Robinson | Decanter | René Gabriel |

| Clos Madeleine, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc. 32 hl/ha. Kräftiges, dunkles Rubin. In der Nase rote und schwarze Beeren mit einer deutlichen Mineralität. Die Noten im Mund lassen einen hocheleganten Wein erahnen, der klassisch schön daher kommt. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: This tiny St.-Emilion gem has fashioned excellent wines in both 2009 and 2010. The dense ruby/purple-hued 2010 exhibits crushed rock, raspberry and blueberry notes along with an unmistakable minerality. Medium-bodied, quintessentially elegant, pure and textured, it should drink well for 12-15+ years. | ||||

| Château Clos de L'Oratoire, St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc; 30 hl/ha.; 75% neue Barriques. Das sind gute Ausgangsdaten für diesen wundervollen Wein, der über 28 Tage lang fermentiert wurde. Die Frucht ist süß und füllig, der Gerbstoff wirkt wie ein wärmender Mantel. | ||||

| La Dame de Montrose, St. Estèphe *Zweitwein Cht. Montrose* | ||||
| Beschreibung Decanter: Rich smoky cassis fruit, good middle sweetness and lift, less depth than expected. Drink 2015-20. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The estate's second wine represents 36% of the production in 2010. Composed of two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, it is one of the finest examples of this cuvee I have yet tasted. Intense blueberry and cassis fruit intertwined with floral notes, a plump, unctuous texture and abundant fruit characterize this seductive, fleshy wine. Consume it over the next 10-15 years. Drink 2011-2026 | ||||

| Château Desmirail, 3ème Cru Classé Margaux | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 40% neues Holz. Dichte, süße Frucht mit angenehmen Röstaromen. Trotz eines deutlichen Tannins sehr stimmig. Der Wein wird in Bordeaux noch unterbewertet. | ||||
| Beschreibung Vinum: Geschmeidig und raffiniert, Streicheltannin, das doch genügend Dichte besitzt, blumiges Finale; ein Muss und für Leute, die nicht zu lange auf ihre 2010er warten wollen. 2018 bis 2028. | ||||

| Domaine de Chevalier -rouge-, Pessac -Léognan Grand Cru Classé | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Feuriges Rubin, im Duft herrliche Komposition dunkler Früchte, auch Himbeeren und Haselnüsse. Am Gaumen reifes Fruchtbild, dabei frisch und von großer Struktur. | ||||
| Beschreibung René Gabriel: Sattes, dunkles Purpur mit lila Reflexen. Sehr delikates Bouquet, Griottes, reife Himbeeren, Veilchen, cremige Stütze im Untergrund, sehr sublimes, vielschichtiges Nasenbild. Im Gaumen angerundet und doch mit verlangender Adstringenz, viel Substanz, nachhaltige Aromatik. Ein ganz grosser Chevalier! 2018-2045 | ||||

| Château Ducru Beaucaillou, 2ème Cru Classé St. Julien | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot. Sehr tiefe Farbe, herrlicher, konzentrierter Duft nach Cassis und etwas Mineralik, wunderschön komponiert. | ||||
| Beschreibung Neal Martin: Cropped between 29th September until 14th October, a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, the nose takes some coaxing from the glass. Very pure blackberry, cassis, a touch of mint and cedar, the new oak lending a touch of vanilla, this is very opulent, yet controlled bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated, velvety tannins, a real caressing mouthfeel, very good acidity to maintain freshness with an exceptionally focused, almost Pauillac-like finish. Very long in the mouth with a citric edge lingering long after the wine is ejected. Tasted March 2011. | ||||

| Château Faugères, Saint Emilion Grand Cru | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Nur 23 hl/ha, 50% neue Barriques. Tolle Daten, aber jetzt kommt's: die Maischegärung dauerte 40 Tage! Kein Wunder, dass er nur so vor Kraft strotzt. Doch der Duft ist fein und tendiert zu Heidelbeeren, Kirschen usw. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: This estate, which was purchased a few years ago by Swiss entrepreneur Silvio Denz, continues to push the envelop and improve on what was already an impressive group of wines from previous proprietress Corinne Guisez. From a 50-acre vineyard in the commune of St.-Christophe des Bardes, the 2010 is a blend of 85% Merlot and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. Perhaps the most powerful wine ever made at Faugeres, it tips the scales at 15% alcohol. Both Michel Rolland and Stephan von Neipperg consult at this estate. The 2010's dense blue/purple color is followed by notes of creosote, toasty new oak, licorice, blueberry liqueur and cassis. This dense, opulent, full-bodied, massive effort is surprisingly civilized and intense. It should drink well for 10-15 years. | ||||

| Château de Fieuzal -rouge- Grand Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot. 35 hl/ha. Klassisch schöne, hochfeine, saftige Frucht mit feinen Tanninen bei gleichzeitiger Dichte. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: This is a rare instance where an estate’s 2008 may be better than their 2010. The latter wine possesses plenty of super-ripe red and black fruits as well as hints of graphite, crushed rocks and white flowers. There is elegant minerality and a medium-bodied palate, but copious tannins kick in in the finish. Five to seven years of cellaring will be essential for this structured, masculine effort. | ||||
| Kretschmer | Robert Parker | J. Robinson | Decanter | René Gabriel |

| Château Fonplégade, St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: Merken Sie sich dieses Gut. Ein nach Süden abfallender Hang liefert unter dem neuen Besitzer einen großen Wein. Aus 91% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon entstand ein hochfeiner Wein, der nicht fett, sondern elegant wirkt. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Now American-owned, Fonplegade has been pushing the envelop of high quality over recent vintages. The full-bodied, powerful 2010 reveals intense, concentrated red and black fruit characteristics, undeniable minerality, a perfumed style and authoritative flavors that linger on the palate. The tannins are noticeable, so this wine will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring and keep for at least two decades. Drink 2016-2036 | ||||

| Château Fougas, Bio-Cuvée *Maldoror*, Côtes de Bourg AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: Merken Sie sich dieses Gut. Ein nach Süden abfallender Hang liefert unter dem neuen Besitzer einen großen Wein. Aus 91% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon entstand ein hochfeiner Wein, der nicht fett, sondern elegant wirkt. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: A consistent winner from Bourg, the dark plum-colored 2010 Fougas-Maldoror possesses chocolatey, spicy, black cherry fruit intermixed with truffle/earthy notes. Medium-bodied with a slight bite of tannin and good acidity, it should drink well for 5-7 years. | ||||

| Château Gazin, Pomerol AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 86% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc. Schöne Frucht und ein Nachklang, der an flüssige Schokolade erinnert. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Tasted at the Syndicat de Pomerol. Gazin has been on form in recent vintages. The 2010 has a very pure bouquet with superb lift and purity: black cherries and raspberry, crushed stone underneath. The palate is full-bodied with grippy tannins, very good acidity, compact and masculine, huge weight on the finish, great length and ambition. Superb. | ||||

| Château Giscours, 3ème Cru Margaux | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: Leider keine Asemblage erhalten. Es ist ein mächtiger Wein mit großer Struktur. Der Duft tendiert in reife Holunderbeeren, die Frucht ist dicht und hat einen süßen Kern, die Tannine sind reif, mächtig und süß. | ||||
| Beschreibung René Gabriel: Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Intensives Fruchtbouquet, Red-Currant-Noten, ein Touch Grenadine, rote Kirschen und Preiselbeeren, darunter dominikanischer Tabak und zartes Vanillin. Fester Gaumen, die Gerbstoffe verbinden sich mit der Säure und geben dem Extrakt so eine leicht muskulös strenge Note, hat gute Anlagen und kann noch zulegen. | ||||

| Château Gloria, Cru Bourgeois St. Julien | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 46 hl/ha, 38% neue Barriques. Sehr dunkles Schwarzkirschrot. In der Nase tendiert er eher zu schwarzen Holunderbeeren und reifem Korn. Am Gaumen süßliche Frucht, dicht, stoffig und herrlich ausgewogen. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: A sensational effort, the 2010 Gloria may turn out to be the finest wine they have made since 1982, although the 2009 is a serious contender for that honor as well. A bigger than life as well as more backward than normal offering, the 2010 exhibits an inky/purple color along with an opulent display of black currants, jammy cherries, licorice, cedar and roasted herbs. Some serious tannin gives the wine grip, but this is a full-bodied, big, thick, well-proportioned, super-endowed Gloria that will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and keep for two decades. | ||||

| Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste, 5ème Cru Classé Pauillac | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The greatest Grand Puy Lacoste since the 2005, 2000 and 1990, the fabulous 2010 reveals all the hallmarks of this estate. It boasts a dense purple color along with classic notes of creme de cassis, blueberries, blackberries, crushed rocks and flowers, sweet tannin and an exceptionally full-bodied and multilayered mouthfeel as well as a boatload of tannin. Cellar it for a decade and drink it over the following three decades. Proprietor Xavier Borie’s 2010 recalls the 2005. Drink 2021-2051 | ||||
| Beschreibung Neal Martin: A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot, the Grand Puy Lacoste '10 has 13.6% alcohol with a total acidity of around 3.5gms/L. It has a very complex bouquet that I leave over 5 minutes to open, developing ripe blackberry, cassis, oyster shell and a faint tang of Japanese nori (seaweed.) Very good complexity. The palate is beautifully balanced, this GPL revelling in this vintage that countenances the Cabernet Sauvignon so much. Very refined, powerful, beautifully focused with an unerring sense of symmetry. This is a magnificent Pauillac…bravo Xavier. Drink 2020- | ||||

| Beschreibung René Gabriel: Mittleres Gelb, erster Goldschimmer. Intensives, reiches Bouquet mit herrlicher Williambirnennote, ein Hauch Grapefruit, darüber ausaladende Aprikosen- und Pfirsichsüsse sowie frisch geschleuderter Honig.

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: One of the stars of Fronsac, Haut-Carles - 2010 boasts a dense opaque blue/purple color and an impressively endowed, sweet bouquet of blueberry liqueur, spring flowers and powdered rock. Medium to full-bodied, pure and deep, this sleeper of the vintage should drink well for 10-15 years. [...] | ||||

| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 37 hl/ha. Die Farbe ist fast schwarz. Im Duft dunkle Früchte, Beeren und Schokotöne. Am Gaumen dann viel Frucht und flüssige Bitterschokolade. Alles sehr dicht und in guter Balance. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Proprietor Robert Wilmers and general manager/winemaker Veronique Sanders have done an extraordinary job at this estate, which has now become one of the superstars of Bordeaux as recent vintages have admirably demonstrated. An opulently styled effort, the blue/purple-hued 2010 offers a sweet kiss of graphite, charcoal, black cherries, black currants and compelling forest floor-like notes. A seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol and oak is found in this full-bodied yet delicate, precise 2010. There is plenty of tannin but it is well-hidden behind the extravagant quantity of fruit. Give it 5-7 years and drink it over the following 35-40 years. Drink 2016-2056 | ||||

| Château Haut-Batailley, 5ème Cru Pauillac | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: This is always the most St.-Julien-like of the Pauillacs (although occasionally Pichon-Lalande possesses a suave, St.-Julian character and less power than many Pauillacs). The dark ruby/purple-hued 2010 reveals sweet aromas of red and black currants, cedar and spicy background oak. It is an attractive, elegant, mid-weight wine with polished tannins as well as a restrained style. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. | ||||
| Beschreibung Neal Martin: The Haut-Batailley '10 is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. It has what you might describe as a very “natural” bouquet with wild blackberry, raspberry, just a touch of pencil lead and wet limestone. Not an intense nose, but very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with very precise tannins, good acidity, just a little hardness at the front-palate, but this will soften. The backbone is very impressive, the finish very masculine, classic, the Cabernet Sauvignon dominating and imparting great purity and expression of terroir. Superb. As always, one of Pauillac's over-looked gems. Drink 2017-2040. | ||||

| Château d'Issan, 3ème Cru Margaux | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Emmanuel Cruse has done a superb job at this moated castle on the southern approach to the appellation of Margaux. The dense blue/purple-tinged 2010 reveals notes of violets, blue and black fruits, a striking minerality, excellent purity, texture and length, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel and noticeable but sweet, well-integrated tannins. It should drink well in 5-6 years and last 25-35. Drink 2016-2051 | ||||
| Beschreibung Neal Martin: A blend of 39% Merlot and 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, cropped between 27th September and 14th October at 42hl/ha representing 53% of the crop, clocking 13.7% and a pH 3.81. It has a tightly-coiled, mineral-rich bouquet with blackberry, wild hedgerow, a touch of blueberry and crushed violet. Good definition and very controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry, a little earthy with some sous-bois and cigar box emanating from the ripe Cabernet, good weight but not overbearing towards the finish. Very natural. This is not a show-stopping wine, but a d'Issan that you will gladly have on your table and deserves several years cellaring. | ||||

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Probably the finest La Dominique made since the wonderful duo of 1989 and 1990, the explosively fruity, dense purple-hued 2010 offers notes of licorice, roasted herbs, truffles, black raspberries and blueberry liqueur. Full-bodied and unctuously textured with sweet tannin as well as good freshness and precision, it should drink well for 15-20 years. P. S. The final blend was 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc that achieved 14.5% natural alcohol. Drink 2011-2031 | ||||

| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc; nur 28 hl/ha!, 50% neue Barriques. Braucht man bessere Beweise für Qualität bei 28 hl? Bei der Verkostung hatte er junge fruchtige Noten, im Mund eine süße Frucht von bezaubernder Fülle, dagegen steht ein leiser Bitterstoff. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The 2010 is a strong effort from this historically underachieving Pomerol thanks in part to the owners hiring well-known consultant Hubert de Bouard. A blend of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc that hit 14% natural alcohol reveals copious notes of sweet caramel, smoke, black cherry liqueur, Asian plum sauce and subtle background oak. Opaque ruby/purple-colored, medium to full-bodied and well-endowed it should drink nicely for 10-15+ years. Drink 2011-2026 | ||||

| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 52% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Gefiel mir eindeutig besser als der 2009er. Der höhere Anteil an Merlot bringt schöne, reife Frucht. Schokoladige Töne fallen auf. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: From their 180 acres, this large estate fashioned a blend of 53% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Harvested over a three week period (September 29 - October 17), it is a big, tannic, nearly over-sized wine boasting a dense purple color along with notes of graphite, blueberries, black raspberries and spring flowers. Great fruit on the attack, a powerful, full-bodied mouthfeel and an unusually masculine, muscular style suggest this 2010 will require patience, but it could turn out to be one of the finest La Tour Carnets ever produced. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2045. Drink 2015-2045 | ||||

| Beschreibung Kretschmer: Leider keine Assemblage erhalten. In der Farbe fast schwarz. Im Duft reich und vielfältig. Reife Tanninstruktur. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Proprietor Basile Tesseron may have produced his finest Lafon Rochet to date. The 2010's inky/blue/purple color is followed by a distinctive bouquet of spring flowers, blueberry pie, blackberry liqueur and crushed rocks. Although a classified growth, this wine is an undeniable sleeper of the vintage as its price remains reasonable. The wine possesses terrific structure, ripe tannins and a voluminous, broad, deep impression on the palate. The fruit intensity, purity and richness suggest 4-5 years of cellaring will be required and the wine will last for 20+ years. | ||||

| Château Lagrange, 3ème Cru Classé St. Julien | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 75% Cabenert Sauvignon, 25% Merlot; 50 hl/ha. Mit einem relativ hohen Hektarertrag hat man klug der Alkoholbildung entgegengesteuert. Es ist ein mehr beerig-fruchtiger Wein von mittlerer Dichte, aber ein guter Stoff mit Charme. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Lagrange's relatively new winemaking team appears to have backed off the aggressive oak regime and the result is a wine with better overall balance. Still a backward, muscular/masculine style of St.-Julien, it reveals abundant tannin along with a subtle hint of vanillin intermixed with lead pencil shavings, white chocolate, black currant and cassis characteristics. Although less expressive than some of its 2010 peers, it is a big, powerful, rich wine that needs a decade of cellaring. It should last for 30 years. Drink 2021-2051 | ||||

| Beschreibung Neal Martin: A dark plum/ruby/purple color is accompanied by hints of graphite, blueberries, tobacco and herbs in this medium to full-bodied 2010. It possesses rugged tannins as well as good freshness, depth and ripeness, but appears to be slightly disjointed and in need of more identity. There is plenty going on, but at present, this wine is primary and earthy. | ||||

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The strongest vintage from Latour-Martillac since their 2005, this dense purple-colored 2010 offers up notes of black currants, graphite, smoke and earth. Deep and full-bodied with superb purity and moderate tannin, it is reminiscent of the 2005, which is just beginning to emerge from a dormant stage. Give the 2010 3-4 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades. Drink 2014-2034 | ||||

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: This estate is sandwiched between Calon Segur and Sociando Mallet in the northern tier of the Medoc. Their 2010 is a blend of 51% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Opaque ruby-colored, with notes of damp earth, black currants, and incense, the wine is medium-bodied and displays good fruit purity, excellent texture and sweet tannin. It should drink nicely for a decade or more. Drink 2011-2021 | ||||

Excellent...a much better sample than 2009 last year. | ||||
| Beschreibung Decanter: In a Cabernet Franc year this really is the ticket [...] Lighter handling has given it a finer, less monolithic feel. Reserved but fresh and poised on the nose. Dense fruit on the palate with dark/red fruit and violet notes. Real length and persistence. At perfect pitch for the vintage. [...] | ||||

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The 2010 Leoville Barton was almost impossible to evaluate because of its highly extracted, masculine, muscular style. However, it exhibits a dense purple color along with surprising amounts of oak, excruciatingly painful tannin levels, good acidity and a massive mouthfeel. One of the biggest, most backward wines of the vintage, forget it for a decade and drink it over the following 30+ years. Unfortunately, I have passed the age where it makes sense to buy a wine such as this. Drink 2021-2051 | ||||

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: One of the prodigious wines of the vintage, the Cuvelier family has produced an outstanding 2010 that must tip the scales at 14.5+% alcohol. It boasts an opaque purple color in addition to a sweet perfume of spring flowers, black raspberries, creme de cassis and a hint of spicy oak. This seamlessly constructed St.-Julien possesses massive concentration, moderately high tannins, abundant glycerin, an unctuous texture, remarkably fresh acids and wonderful precision. It will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring and last 30-35 years. Drink 2016-2051 | ||||

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: This dense purple-colored 2010 exhibits dark raspberry and blueberry fruit notes, less power and structure than its neighbor De Pez, but more finesse, elegance and fruit forwardness.

| Beschreibung Robert Parker: This estate, which has been on a qualitative crescendo for over ten years, has made a prodigious 2010 that ranks alongside their 2009, 2005 and 2000. A gorgeous fragrance of spring flowers, cedarwood, black and red currants and hints of spice box and subtle oak is followed by a generously endowed, full-bodied, opulent wine with layers of concentration, a restrained yet exuberant personality, superb fruit purity and a long finish. There is plenty of tannin, no doubt elevated alcohol and wonderful freshness as well as delicacy. This beauty should drink well for 25 or more years. Drink 2011-2036 | ||||

| Château Pontet-Canet, 5ème Cru Pauillac AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Schon seit mindestens 5 Jahren hat er Mouton eingeholt und zählt für mich zu den absoluten Größen. Mächtig im Aufbau von Frucht und Tannin mit der Option, einer der Schönsten des Jahrganges zu werden. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Pontet-Canet's 2010 harvest took place between September 29 and October 17 (this vineyard is one of the few in Bordeaux that is fully certified as biodynamic) and the final blend was 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that achieved nearly 15% natural alcohol. A remarkable, full-bodied effort (as was the estate’s 2009 and 2008), like so many recent vintages from proprietor Alfred Tesseron, it is of first-growth quality (some may even argue that it eclipses several first-growths). Dense purple to the rim, it offers classic notes of creme de cassis, graphite, subtle smoke and spring flowers. Multidimensional with massive concentration as well as vivid purity, precision and freshness, this is another astonishing effort from an obsessive/compulsive proprietor who is doing everything right. On the downside, this 2010 will require a decade of cellaring and should evolve for 50+ years. It will be fascinating to drink it side by side with the 2009 and 2008. Drink 2021 | ||||

| Château Potensac, Cru Bourgeois Médoc | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Traditionally made, yet exhibiting some modern touches such as ripe fruit, the 2010 Potensac is another sleeper of the vintage from this estate, owned by Jean-Hubert Delon, the proprietor of Leoville Las Cases. Classic Bordeaux notes of red and black currants, earth, and spice box are well-presented in this deep ruby/purple-colored, medium-bodied wine, which should drink nicely for a decade or more. Drink 2011-2021 | ||||
| Beschreibung Neal Martin: The Potensac '10 is a blend of 42% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot including 9.3% vin de presse. It offers 13.6% alcohol with a pH of 3.55. There is just a slight sense of sur-maturité on the nose perhaps from the Merlot, just a hint of prune. Not over the top but it is just there. The palate is full-bodied with succulent grippy tannins...a huge Potensac that is redeemed but very silky finish. Long in the mouth, one of the few 2010's that actually reminds me of the 2009. Tasted March 2010. | ||||

| Château Poujeaux, Cru Bourgeois Superieur, Moulis | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: Aus 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot. Mittleres Kirschrot. Er duftet schön nach Holunder-, Heidelbeeren und Johannisbeeren. Dahinter steckt eine rauchige, mineralische Note. Er ist kräftig und elegant zugleich, wenn auch noch recht zugeknöpft. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: An undeniable sleeper of the vintage, this may be the finest Poujeaux I have tasted in three decades. A crushed rock/mineral character is intertwined with abundant black currant, blackberry, incense and camphor notes in this full-bodied, unctuously textured, elegant, pure effort. It is capable of lasting 15 years. Kudos to new proprietor Philippe Cuvelier (also the owner of St.-Emilion's Clos Fourtet) for resurrecting this well-known estate. Drink 2011-2026 | ||||

| Château Prieuré Lichine, 4ème Cru Classé Margaux | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot; 32 hl/ha. Ein Schluck, und es war klar: Das ist ein fein strukturiertes Gewächs mit Tiefe und gut integriertem Tannin. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The strongest Prieure Lichine produced in many years, along with consultant Stephane Derenoncourt, the proprietors have fashioned a wine with true opulence as well as wonderful projected aromatics of blue, red and black fruits, licorice, flowers and subtle oak. Silky tannins, a sexy, generous, opulent attack, mid-palate and finish, no hard edges and well-integrated acidity, tannin and alcohol (14.5%) are all found in this impressive Margaux. Give it 2-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 25. It is potentially one of the longest lived wines made at Prieure Lichine since some of their classic efforts from the sixties. Drink 2013-2028 | ||||

| Château Sociando-Mallet, Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: The classic 2010 displays everything one expects from this over-achieving Haut-Medoc. A dense purple color is followed by aromas of blueberries, black currants, graphite and crushed rocks, a layered, full-bodied mouthfeel, stunning concentration and sweet, more polished and refined tannins than are normally found in barrel samples of Sociando Mallet. This cuvee should last for 20-30 years. Drink 2011-2041 | ||||
| Beschreibung Jancis Robinson: Lively and racy and with more than a hint of young oak! Sweet start and very polished palate. Chewy finish but with lots and lots of sweet fruit. Well done! Quite luscious, very like a fine St-Estèphe. Drink 2017-2027. | ||||

| Château Suduiraut, 1er Cru Sauternes -0,375 l- | ||||
| Beschreibung Decanter: Super nose with some exotic pineapple/mango/passion fruit undertones mixed with Vouvray-like blossom-tree and quince jelly, enormous body, but incredible purity and crystal-like transparency, great length, a masterpiece! Drink 2020-2070. | ||||
| Beschreibung Jancis Robinson: Tasted blind 4 Apr: Rich and subtle on the nose; it already feels heavy in the glass. Very big and bold. Spicy. One of the sweetest and it seems to be interesting too! Very rich for a 2010. RS 142 g/l, TA 3.8 g/l. Tasted 7 Apr: Mid pale gold. Broad and rich and fresh but with very ripe pear-juice notes. There is real weight here. Much less citrus peel than most other 2010 Sauternes. Real race. Dangerously delicious now. Long. Super clean. Medium to heavy weight. Great undertow. Long. Nervy. Drink 2022-2040 | ||||

| Château Talbot, St. Julien 4ème Cru Classé | ||||
| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. 44 hl/ha, 50% neue Barriques. Nach einem süßlichen Auftakt ist er dicht und engmaschig. Trotz kräftiger Struktur ist er auch fein und tief. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Abundant amounts of sweet, up-front fruit give this wine a precocious appeal compared to many of its brethren. It exhibits a dense plum/ruby/purple hue along with sweet boysenberry, black currant, cherry, smoke and licorice aromas and flavors. This deep, medium to full-bodied, classic Talbot should be approachable when released, and age effortlessly for 15 or more years. | ||||

| Vieux Château Certan, Pomerol AC | ||||
| Beschreibung Vinum: Beginnt ausserordentlich filigran angesichts, des angesagten Stils des Jahres, zeigt Tiefe. Eleganz und sogar Finesse und eine gute Balance, den Alkohol spürt man erst im letzten Drittel der Verkostung. 2018 bis 2030 (18/20) | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: A blend of 86% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon [Anm. JI: beruhigend, dass auch Profis sowas passiert *g*] cropped between 27th September and 5th October, the Vieux Chateau Certan delivers 14.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.7. It is presently being raised in 75% new oak. The nose is very refined with touches of blackberry, raspberry, black truffle and dark cherries with wonderful delineation considering the alcohol level. The palate is very well balanced with beautiful poise, perhaps more focused than the 2009 at this stage. Wonderful mineralité, there is superb precision and energy is this nascent VCC. Just superb! | ||||

| Beschreibung Kretschmer: 83% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% der Barriques sind neu. Farbe: mittleres Kirschrot. Der Duft ist fein. Auch am Gaumen fällt die feine Frucht auf, die an dunkles Beerengelee erinnert. Der Winzer spricht von der kleinsten Ernte seit 20 Jahren. | ||||
| Beschreibung Robert Parker: Another impressive Fronsac, Villars' 2010 possesses an extra level of concentration as well as a dense purple color, hints of graphite, spring flowers, blue and black fruits, good tannin, sweet fruit and a lingering finish. It should drink well for a decade or more. | ||||
