From very sandy soils east of St.-Emilion, this 2010 also has a big, ball-busting level of alcohol. It offers up loads of black cherry fruit, some underbrush and loamy soil undertones, sweet tannin and adequate acidity in its forward, evolved personality. This is a stylish, more feminine St.-Emilion meant for early consumption over the next decade or more. Feb 2013, www.robertparker.com
