The best wine from a difficult decade for Port

powerful and moderately austere finish

and the latest of the decade

all wrapped in a youthfully austere and gorgeously long finale

Clos Rougeard, Saumur Champigny Poyeux Vintage:2010 The best wine from aDeep ruby. Lovely lift to the gamey aromas of blackberry, violet and wild flowers. Discreetly sweet, layered and seamless, showing perfectly integrated acidity and a chalky quality to the vibrant tannins. Juicy, vinous, intense and delicately suave, this distinguished cabernet franc finishes with subdued cassis fruit, subtle spices and superb length, reminding Nady of the 1993. Joel B. Payne
