| Ch. Lagrange, 2010 750Ml |
 | 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.

| Ch. Lascombes, 2010 750Ml |
|
| While this large property is composed of a huge number of small parcels that must require military-like precision to harvest,
the quality of the wines over the last decade has been remarkable. The 2010 may turn out to be the greatest Lascombes ever made.
It boasts a dense purple color along with an extraordinarily uplifted set of aromatics consisting of blueberry liqueur, black cherries,
subtle smoke, crushed rocks and restrained oak. Massive fruit, an unctuous texture, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and stunning definition
(because of good acids and a modest pH) have resulted in a formidable wine that will benefit from 5-6 years of cellaring, and should keep
for 30 years. A brilliant effort!

| Ch. Barde Haut, 2010 750Ml |
|
| Readers looking for an exuberant, nearly flamboyant, exceptionally well-made St.-Emilion should check out this effort from the Garcin family,
which has done such a fabulous job with their Graves, Haut-Bergey, and Pomerol, Clos l?Eglise. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc
from a beautifully situated vineyard near Troplong Mondot and Trottevielle, this cuvee reveals terrific fruit on the attack, mid-palate and finish.
Abundant cassis and black cherry characteristics are presented in a juicy, savory, broadly textured style. The vintage?s freshness, precision and
zesty acids give uplift to a big, opulent, fleshy wine. Consume it over the next decade or more.

| Ch. Clerc Milon, 2010 750Ml |
|
| 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.

| Ch. Clos Fourtet, 2010 750Ml |
|
| Although this superb 2010 is built differently, it is as impressive as the extravagant 2009 and the prodigious 2005.
A blend of 85% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc made from yields of 31 hectoliters
per hectare, with 14.5% natural alcohol, Stephane Derenoncourt is the consulting winemaker. One can not say
enough about what proprietor Philippe Cuvelier has accomplished at Clos Fourtet over the last decade turning a
perennial underachiever into one of the great wines of Bordeaux. Production from this 50-acre vineyard is nearly
4,000 cases. The inky/purple-hued 2010 displays a beautiful bouquet of incense, blueberry and blackberry liqueur,
licorice and camphor. Full-bodied and opulent with more tannin and glycerin than the massive 2009, the 2010, while
less sumptuous than the 2009, is a huge effort that is undoubtedly capable of lasting 30+ years.

| Ch. Gracia, 2010 750Ml |
|
| It is a shame that former stonemason (now retired) Michel Gracia has so little wine to sell. With less than 5 acres of vines, and ridiculously
low crop yields of 22 hectoliters per hectare, there will only be 5,400 bottles of the 2010 Gracia, which achieved 14.5% natural alcohol.
Reminiscent of Ausone (even though the blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon is different), the 2010 Gracia
boasts an inky/purple color as well as an unmistakable rock-like liqueur, loads of blueberry, black raspberry and blackberry fruit and hints of
camphor as well as truffles. With great intensity, full-bodied power, stunning length and texture and huge tannins, this cuvee needs 7-10 years
of cellaring and should keep for three decades or more.

| Ch. La Croix De Labrie, 2010 750Ml |
|
| One of the tiniest production as well as most seductive, opulent wines in all of Bordeaux, only 200 cases of the Croix de Labrie
are made in most vintages. I was only able to taste the 2010 on one occasion and the aromatics revealed some oxidation, but the
palate exploded with blue and black fruits intermixed with hints of coffee, chocolate and exotic Asian spices. Opulent, dense and
super-concentrated, it should merit a mid-ninety point rating.

| Ch La Fleur Cardinale, 2010 750Ml |
|
| The greatest Fleur Cardinale since the 2005, the super-powerful, rich, opaque purple-colored 2010 exhibits beautiful floral notes
intermixed with black raspberry, blueberry and boysenberry fruit as well as a hint of minerality. Exuberant and flamboyant with
full-bodied richness, stunning purity and an impressive, textured mouthfeel and finish, this beauty should age effortlessly for 12-20 years.

| Ch. Le Dome, 2010 750Ml |
|
| This 1,000-case cuvee is always a candidate for having the highest percentage of Cabernet Franc (80%) of any wine from Bordeaux.
The balance is Merlot. A magical wine, the dense purple-colored 2010 exhibits notes of incense, camphor, blueberries, blackberries
and spring flowers. With sweet tannin, medium to full body and the high percentage of Cabernet Franc, it should put on additional
weight and provide plenty of pleasure over 10-15 years. It is a stunning example of what heights Cabernet Franc can achieve in St.-Emilion.

| Ch. Lucia, 2010 750Ml |
|
| A tiny garagiste property (under 7.5 acres) renowned for its one parcel of extremely old vines planted in 1901, the 2010
(which is 14% natural alcohol and overseen by the famous guru in St.-Emilion, Stephane Derenoncourt) is a blend of
90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. This inky bluish/purple wine displays notes of camphor, toast and spice box,
as well as black raspberry and blueberry liqueur. Full-bodied, unctuously textured, sexy and lush, this is somewhat
atypical of a 2010 in that it can be drunk when released and cellared for 10-15+ years.

| Ch. Reynon, 2010 750Ml |
|
| From the property of well-known Professor Denis Dubourdieu, this delicious, supple, silky textured red offers abundant notes of black cherries intermixed with hints of cedarwood and earth. Round and generous, it is ideal for drinking in its first 2-3 years of life.

| Ch. Senejac, 2010 750Ml |
|
| Pontet-Canet?s brilliant proprietor, Alfred Tesseron, has begun to look after the wines of Senejac and the result is a tasty, elegant 2010 offering copious berry fruit notes intermixed with hints of cedarwood and spice. This cuvee should be drinkable upon release and evolve for a decade
