The 2010 Lalande-Borie is another quite successful example of the vintage that steers clear of overripeness. The wine offers up a deep, ripe and classy nose of cassis, black cherries, espresso, cigar smoke, gravelly soil tones and a discreet base of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and quite nicely balanced, with fine mid-palate depth, well-measured tannins and really lovely length and grip on the finish. There are not really that many 2010s that are this poised and balanced. A fine result. (Drink between 2018-2040)
