Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

Another brilliant showing, the 2010 Château Margaux is still youthful but oh, so promising with its quintessential darker currants, lead pencils, Asian spices, and graphite-driven nuances, as well as that textbook leafy tobacco Bordeaux character. On the palate, it's ripe, medium to full-bodied, and concentrated, with flawless overall balance, ripe, polished tannins, and a gorgeous finish. It's still probably 4-5 years away from its true prime drinking window, yet it is utterly compelling even today. It has another 40-50 years of overall longevity ahead of it. Drink 2030-2070.
