"(Roty's three grand crus were aged in 90% new oak): Deep red-ruby, the darkest 2010 to this point. Superripe, almost decadent aromas of kirsch and smoke accented by caraway seed; gained in freshness as it opened in the glass. At once plush and powerful, offering impressive breadth to the flavors of cherry, redcurrant, raspberry and spicy oak. Youthfully tough tannins will require at least eight years of cellaring."
