100pt Bordeaux Wine Collection from 2010 Vintage // Set of 6

This set of six 2010 French Bordeaux from the The Grand Cru Wine Collection is the perfect way to elevate your wine cabinet to something really special. Robert Parker rates The 2010 Bordeaux vintage one of the “three greatest Bordeaux vintages I have tasted in my career.”

The 2010 Château Haut-Brion Premier Grand Cru Classé was awarded a full 100 points by Robert Parker, Jr., who said: “The wine is ethereal. From its dense purple color to its incredibly subtle but striking aromatics that build incrementally, offering up a spectacular smorgasbord of aromas ranging from charcoal and camphor to black currant and blueberry liqueur and spring flowers, this wine’s finesse, elegant yet noble power and authority come through in a compelling fashion. It is full-bodied, but that’s only apparent in the aftertaste, as the wine seems to float across the palate with remarkable sweetness, harmony, and the integration of all its component parts – alcohol, tannin, acidity, wood, etc. This prodigious Haut-Brion is hard to compare to another vintage, at least right now, but it should have 50 to 75 years of aging potential."

The 2010 Château Pontet-Canet 5ème Grand Cru Classé was awarded a full 100 points Robert Parker, Jr., who said “An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross-street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, there are also some violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. The freshness, laser-like precision, and full-bodied, massive richness and extract are simply remarkable to behold and experience. It is very easy, to become jaded tasting such great wines from a great vintage, but it is really a privilege to taste something as amazing as this.”

The 2010 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Grand Cru Classé was awarded a full 100 points by James Suckling, who said “This is crazy. The nose is so unique with the iodine, stones and currant aromas with wet earth and mushroom. Aromas like this don't usually come out until 10 years or so in the bottle. Classic nose for this estate. Full-bodied, with an amazing palate of firm yet polished tannins and a solid palate. So dense and gorgeous. It is really stunning. Try in 2020.”

The 2010 Château Mouton Rothschild Premier Grand Cru Classé was awarded a full 100 points by James Suckling, who said: “Clearly a perfect wine that shows incredible depth of fruit with currants, dark chocolate, minerals and licorice. Full-bodied, tight and wound up with ripe tannins that let go and seduce you. Makes me want to drink it now. But this is a wine for the long term. Extraordinary. Better in 2020.”

The 2010 Château Léoville-Las Cases 2ème Grand Cru Classé was awarded a full 100 points by (Cellar Selection) Wine Enthusiast, who said “A hugely powerful wine, full of dark, brooding tannins. It's a wine for seriously long-term aging, a sculptural vision of classic Bordeaux structure with with classy, ripe blackberry fruits. It has fresh acidity and an immense full-bodied character, cut through with mineral acidity. A great wine, with great potential.”

The 2010 Château Lafite Rothschild Premier Grand Cru Classé was awarded a full 100 points by (Cellar Selection) Wine Enthusiast, who said “Almost black in color, this stunning wine is gorgeous, rich and dense. It's grand and powerful, with a strong sense of its own importance. The beautiful tannins and the fragrant black currant fruits are palpable. It's a great wine, with huge potential.”
