The 2010 Roc de Combes has a very pure nose of black cherries, plum and iodine. It is well defined, quite elegant rather than intense, becoming more floral with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely, subtle opening of dark plum, mulberry and a little spice. The tannins are refined and remain in the background, finely interwoven into the texture, whilst the finish is understated and somehow, effortless. This is a great Roc de Combes that has fulfilled its promise from barrel. Score: 92 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 March 2013 |

Sandy soil with clay and gravel. 60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, 5% Carmenère. Much more Cabernet character on the nose, with the perfume of Petit Verdot. Fine and juicy and lots of easy pleasure without being over simple. Likely to be GV. Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2012-2022 07 November 2012 |
