Château Berliquet 2010

"A strong effort from Berliquet, the 2010 was fashioned from yields of 23 hectoliters per hectare by the managing consultant, Nicholas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt.  Composed of 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers copious aromas of sweet kirsch liqueur, underbrush, plums and black cherries.  This mineral-laced, deep, medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, broad, savory St.-Emilion exhibits more power and depth than past vintages.  Drink it over the next 10-15 years." - Robert Parker Jr (5/1/2011, Issue 194) Rating: 90-93
