Chateau de Fieuzal, Rouge Cru Classe, Pessac-Leognan 2010

The 2010 de Fieuzal has a lovely nose, very vigorous, with blackberry, bilberry, hints of sea spray and seaweed. You can almost smell the Gironde in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, rounded in texture with good acidity. It just feels a little over-extracted on the finish when you really want it to take its foot off the gas. But this is still a thoroughly enjoyable wine. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
