Château Magdelaine St Emilion Grand Cru Classé Premier Grand Cru Classé B 2010
Brambled fruit, raspberry, cloves, cinnamon, red cherries, tobacco, coupled with the limestone scrape that is never far away with Magdelaine, and the vivid brightness of orange peel and fennel. More austerity present than in the other vintages of the vertical, exceptional quality but it’s the 2009 that really stands out right now – and I would also suggest looking to the fantastic Bélair-Monanage 2010. Eric Murisasco winemaker, 50% new oak. First bottle of this was corked, luckily a kind friend had a second bottle that they shared.
