2010 2010 Pirouette

Cellar Selection. Scents of violets and raspberries lead on the bouquet, with plenty of rich, new oak aromas. It's bright and spicy in the mouth, youthful and balanced, with terrific aging potential.

Offering ripe, toasty notes of smoked earth, herbs, chocolate, and assorted black fruits, it is medium-bodied, firm and focused on the palate, with great acidity and edgy tannin. It's a classy, elegant, and age-worthy Bordeaux blend that should evolve positively for 3-4 years and have 10-12 years of ultimate longevity.
