89 RP "The more limited cuvee â and itâs very special â is the 2010 Cuvee George, which is a somewhat idiosyncratic blend of 45% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Merlot. It displays terrific floral notes intermixed with blackberry, licorice, and a hint of incense. Dense purple, it possesses soft, silky tannins and a luscious, sumptuous mouthfeel and finish. This wine is terrific, but will obviously be very difficult to find. It also came in at 14.5% natural alcohol."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
2010 in Bordeaux is a great classic vintage shaped by a dry growing season and drought that yielded small, concentrated berries; the wines are powerful and richly structured, with firm tannins, high alcohol and outstanding long-term aging potential.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
Yields dark, plush reds with ripe black fruit and soft tannins. A traditional Bordeaux blender, it found its greatest fame in Argentina.
