Chateau Le Crock (Ch. Leoville Poyferré) 2010 750ml

I've followed Château Le Crock ever since I first tasted the 1989. I'm currently drinking the 1996 vintage and will soon dip into the more modern style of 2003. The 2010 comes somewhere in between—with a gorgeous scented nose and volumes of fresh fruit, it is very amenable and has a nicely assured tannic finish. Proprietor Didier Cuvelier stays at this handsome château, just behind Cos, while overseeing the harvest here and at Ch. Léoville Poyferré. Jolly good!
