Chateau Bernadotte (Futures Pre-sale) 2010

Professional Ratings

• 92 Wine Spectator
  Racy and bright, with kirsch, floral and chalk notes. The finish has good nervosite and tension. Tightly wound now, but the length is there. Equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
  Barrel Sample: 89-92 Points
• 92 Wine Enthusiast
  Strong new-wood aromas lead to a palate that is layered with firm tannins, a polished toast character and a sufficient ripe blackberry flavor to balance. This 2010 bottling shows that this is a chateau to watch. Cellar Selection.
• 90 James Suckling
  A balanced and friuity wine with mineral, dried flowers and berries Medium to full body, with fine tannins. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot.
  Barrel Sample: 89-90 Points
