"The Domaine Bertheau 2010 Premier Cru bottlings is still a few years away from really starting to blossom, but it is showing beautiful potential and will obviously be an outstanding bottle with a bit more cellaring time. The bouquet is pure and beautifully sappy at the present time, offering up scents of red plums, cherries, raw cocoa, woodsmoke, a fine base of soil, mustard seed and a very discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and just starting to stretch out a bit after its hibernation and showing signs of the promise to come, with a lovely core of fruit, moderate tannins, tangy acids and excellent focus and grip on the nascently complex finish. Just give this three or four more years in the cellar to really soften up properly and it is going to start drinking beautifully."
