Vinous
The 2010 Réserve de la Comtesse has a tight, broody bouquet that feels a little thin compared to its peers in this flight. Red berry fruit, brown spices and iron filing scents only reluctantly emerge, gradually adding weight and in the end the aromatics are very satisfying. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins and attractive red and black fruit, a little leathery with cedar notes towards the lively finish. This note comes from a second bottle opened, the first was drier and less vigorous. This second bottle is hopefully representative. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

Good bright red-ruby. Expressive aromas of black cherry, chocolate, game, menthol and licorice are lifted by a floral topnote. Began a tad tart in the mouth, but grew suppler with air while maintaining good grip to its high-pitched flavors of black raspberry, black cardamom and flowers. Not a particularly ripe 2010 but sexy, energetic and firmly built, with the slightly tart quality returning on the back end.
