2010 Bordeaux retasted in June, Pessac-Léognan

The property at Château Pape Clément is more refined than it's wines, unfortunately.

2010 Château Bouscaut Blanc;

Fresh, lively, smoky minerals, balanced, fresh and layered. 91-92

2010 Château Bouscaut Rouge;

Fresh, lively, just on the sweet and ripe side, minerals. 89-91

2010 Château Carbonnieux Blanc;

Elegant, refined, layered, beautiful texture, fresh acidity, lemons and long finish. 92-94

2010 Château Carbonnieux Rouge;

Elegant and feels more refined for red Carbonnieux, seems less excessively oaked, long. 91-93

2010 Domaine de Chevalier Blanc;

Layer upon layer, citrus, stunning acidity, balanced, incredible length, stunning. 94-96

2010 Domaine de Chevalier Rouge;

Perfumed and complex, fresh, lively, mouthwatering, stunning balance and freshness, long. Best DdC Rouge ever? 94-95

2010 Château Haut-Bailly;

Beautiful nose, fresh, lively, slightly hollow mid palate, yet again not convinced, disappointing considering vintage and appelation. 88-89

2010 Château Malartic Lagraviere Blanc;

Grapefruit and minerals, elegant, more fruit-driven style, superb length. 92-93

2010 Château Olivier Blanc;

Smokey Pessac minerals, citrus, stunning fruit and balance, very long. A new star is on it's way, especially on the whites. 93-95

2010 Château Pape Clément Blanc;

Bathing in oak, almost impossible to have any sensation of anything else. Overdone, massive and of little use. Impossible to drink. If Olivier is a rising star, this is not falling, it's plummeting. 83 if I'm kind.

2010 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc;

Gorgeous nose, stunning flavor and texture, intense, great length. 93-94

2010 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Rouge;

Elegant, layered, refined, flirting and seductive, perfumed, long. 93-94
