Tasting Notes
The wines of 2010 are of exceptional quality with complex characters of red fruit, truffle, violets and silky round tannins. Although this vintage produced generous and rich wines, the finesse maintained from the cooler nights and the characteristic low pH of the calcairesoils of Chamberttames their powerful structure. The ripe tannins and dense fruit accompanied by this elegant acidity will ensure that the wines of 2010 have a tremendous potential to age.
