Courteillac 2010 75cl

An excellent value from one of the region’s most consistent producers, this 2010 offers up black currant, licorice and loamy soil notes in a medium-bodied, richly fruity, more powerful and heady style than usual. It should be consumed during the first 2-3 years of life.

Direct, with a core of dark plum, roasted tobacco leaf and singed wood notes that meld nicely and carry through the medium-weight, fleshy finish. Drink now through 2014. –JM
