Château Reynats 2010 - Cru Bourgeois

Haut-Médoc|Red wine

3/5 (15 customers)

90/100

Robert Parker

“Tasted at a 2010 Crus Bourgeois tasting in London, it has a classic bouquet of graphite tinged with hints of tobacco, with an abundance of black fruit and superb definition. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, pleasantly gripping tannins and a finish of great distinction marked by tobacco. Great finesse. Drink now through 2018.” (Neal Martin’s Wine Journal - eRobertParker.com). Located in the heart of the Médoc between Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe, this is a Cru Bourgeois that has all the makings of a great wine. This 2010 can be enjoyed now with red meats or game, or cellared for a few years...

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on March 21, 2015

A classic Haut-Médoc: straightforward, with firm, tight tannins. The wine is astringent, with pronounced acidity and oak. A bitter finish. Compared to other 2010 vintages, it falls far short of the balance and smoothness found in an Escurac, Belle-Vue, or Charmail.
