The 2010 Au Sommet seems to bring together the best of qualities of 2008 and 2009. It has the fruit and depth of the former and the silkiness of the latter. Juicy dark cherries, plums, smoke, incense and tobacco are some of the aromas and flavors that take shape as this powerful, intense wine shows off its considerable pedigree. Hints of black olives, grilled herbs and licorice add complexity on the finish. This is a gorgeous wine in every way.
The inky blue/purple-colored 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Sommet is filled with blackberry, blueberry, graphite and floral notes. Composed of 97.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2.7% Petit Verdot, it reveals a pleasant underlying earthy/terroir component, but the fruit dominates and this medium to full-bodied 2010 is rich, textured, and impressively endowed. Possessing the best of both worlds – the finesse, terroir and earthiness of France, and the sumptuous fruit, texture and lusciousness of Napa.
Features a tight mix of currant, blackberry, cedar and loamy earth notes. This is dense, spicy and firmly tannic, with flavors that gain depth and expand on the finish. Promises to improve with age.
