Vintage 2005, 2009 and now 2010 have become absolute classics in Bordeaux, we are just about to land the 2010 vintage that offers excellent value and really outstanding quality, a superb Bordeaux to drink over the next few years. Ideally this is something that should be kept for a little while, around 3-5 years and at $22.95, it is almost impossible to get anything better. Medium to full bodied with hints of smoke, leather and dust yet with very clear and precise fruit, ripe, beautifully balanced with lovely structure and concentration. A wine that you would put alongside many others at $40 or $50 and is just as good, if not better. For those of you who know it, you will know exactly what we are talking about, and for those who haven’t tried it, it’s worth getting some so you can find out!

2010 was one of the best vintages on record in Bordeaux. Seeing the prices of other 2010 Bordeaux, this is a sure thing in fact it's a complete steal! Owned and operated by the Lafon family well known in Bordeaux as wine growers and makers, this is pretty much the flagship of the company. 2010 is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, its incredibly ripe and concentrated. On the nose it displays cassis, floral undergrowth, tar and mint. Because of the nature of the 2010 vintage, it offers superb ripe tannins, interlinked with espresso froth, mocca, lead pencil yet remaining fresh, pure and vibrant. Superb 10-15 second finish with excellent length. An outstanding offering for those that love classic Bordeaux at its best. Cellar for 8 years plus.
