March 2014 - Ted Howard - a customer review by email:
"The 2010 is a flat-out knockout. For one thing, when I started pouring it, the bouquet pretty much filled the room. It has a noticeably bigger structure and more velvety mouthfeel than the 2009 and the flavors really explode on the palate with richness and intensity – rich, intense blackberries, raspberries and spice, all in balance and without any “fruit-bomb” heaviness or alcohol-level hotness. It is a fantastic wine. My friend Chris, with whom we were dining, said he thought it compared favorably with the 2010 Vieux Telegraphe Le Crau CDP, which he had recently and which, as you probably know, got 95 pts. or higher from basically all the well-known reviewers. I have had the ‘10 VT as well, and think it is pretty stunning. While I might not necessarily put it and your 2010 head to head right now, they are certainly comparable and I think that a blind tasting of the two in a couple of years might very well result in your wine being awarded the prize; it is clearly that outstanding (and, need I add, less than 1/3 of the price)."
