Tasting notes
Good bright, deep red. Musky, superripe aromas of jammy black fruits and roasted herbs. Round, sweet and superripe but still fresh in spite of its chocolatey quality. Finishes with powerful, chewy tannins that cut off the fruit today. This wine will need time to harmonize in bottle. D'Angerville bottled the 2010s between March and May of 2012 owing to the late malos.

Bright crimson. Real texture and race here on the nose. Amazingly pure. Straight down the line immediate impact. Just the merest whiff of mossiness. Dry finish. Very fresh. Marked acidity. (JR)
Still finishing its malo. Light and fresh but without real depth – presumably because of its stage of evolution. (JR)
Good deep, bright red. Aromas of black raspberry, licorice and wild herbs. Rich and bright, with lovely inner-mouth floral lift; this really saturates the mouth with flavor. Finishes vibrant and long, with a strong impression of saline minerality. I would not be surprised if this wine merited a score at the top end of my projected range. The yield here was a more normal 35 hectoliters per hectare, as these vines flowered a week earlier than the estate's other premier crus, in better weather conditions.
