Château Vieux Maillet 2010, Pomerol 750ml

"An interesting Pomerol that seems to have performed better in 2010 than in other vintages I have tasted, it is a blend of three-fourths Merlot and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc, although about 8% Cabernet Sauvignon is also in the blend. Exhibiting some sweet Christmas fruitcake notes along with plum sauce, espresso roast and black cherry fruit, it is medium-bodied, elegant, and best consumed over the next decade. 87 points" - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #205
