Château Batailley - Wine Advocate	Pauillac	2010	90	Mar-2020
Review “Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Batailley starts off quite cedary/oaky, opening out to reveal notes of preserved plums, blackcurrant cordial and new leather with touches of pencil shavings and bay leaves. Full-bodied, the palate has a rock-solid structure of firm, chewy tannins and loads of freshness framing the herb-sparked black fruit, finishing a little firm.”
Damilano - Into Wine	Lecinquevigne Barolo DOCG	2010	88	Feb-2020
Review “Purple in color, ruby at the core. The nose is dusty with light cherries. On the palate, this is simple. Sweet ripe cherries. Soft texture. Enough acidity. Easy finish. This is good but not what makes Barolo special. It seems to be at peak now. It probably should be consumed in the next five or so years. A nice wine with pizza or pasta.”
Juvé & Camps - JancisRobinson.com	La Capella Brut Nature	2010		Feb-2020
Review “A wine with a broad palate, open, wide, with body and a very positive oxidative side. It has a bone-dry refined style. It is an explosive and luscious Cava, which ends with bitter but delicious notes. Very well crafted. Gentle but concentrated.” (17.5 points)
Henschke - Decanter	Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz	2010	98	Dec-2019
Review “First made in 1958, Australia’s most famous single vineyard wine was originally planted during the 1860s by Nicolaus Stanitzki, a Henschke ancestor. A fine, intricate web of tannins harnesses equally intricate layers of flavour which build steadily. Juniper, dried herbs, liquorice, charcuterie and a hint of eucalyptus is filled out by sweet, juicy briar on the attack, creamy, mocha-edged framboise to the mid-palate and deep set, very persistent blackcurrant. Very long, and very fluid.”
Estate Argyros - Wine Advocate	Estate Argyros Mavrotragano - 2010	2010	88	Dec-2019
Review “The 2010 Mavrotragano was aged in French oak for 18 months. It was further aged in bottle for eight months. When first seen, this was another fine example of the grape from Argyros, which does a great job with it. One key question is how (and whether) they age. This was only the third bottling I'd seen (about six years ago) from the winery. Let's check in. In terms of structure, this is brilliant, as good or better than ever. Vibrant and still powerful, it finishes with some pop, and it is very concentrated.”
Château de Saint Cosme - Decanter	Gigondas Hominis Fides - 2010	2010	98	Oct-2019
Review “Spicy, smoky, lifted fragrance, real finesse and freshness still to the aromatics. Lovely depth and intensity of fruit. A really attention-grabbing wine - it's almost a bit too much - bright, full technicolor. Very saline, very long, great finesse but great power.”
Château de Saint Cosme - Decanter	Gigondas Le Claux - 2010	2010	98	Oct-2019
Review “Beautifully harmonious palate, cooling, all very much in perfect balance, and just coming into maturity now, with a long time to go before it really hits its peak. Long, bassy fruit tones, all imbedded with spice. Exceptionally long. A very serious wine in the making.”
Domaine Blain-Gagnard - Decanter	Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru	2010	91	Jul-2019
Review “The Blain-Gagnard style favors discreet and subtle rather than explosive wines. This shows muted pear and apricot aromas with a light toastiness. It's sleek and silky, concentrated but linear, with ample sucrosity to balance the acidity. While not especially complex, it's harmonious and still has a future.”
Tua Rita - Wine Advocate	Syrah Toscana IGT	2010	94	May-2019
Review “I tasted this wine as part of a vertical tasting and masterclass I headed at our Matter of Taste event in Zurich in early 2019. Because we did not have a review in our database of the 2010 Syrah (the wine was not given the name "Per Sempre" back then), I decided to add it. This is a beautifully fleshed-out and mature expression of Syrah with dark, tarry notes that cede to dried cherry, spice and savory leather. The wine is traveling nicely along its evolutionary tract, and it still has the fiber and freshness to endure more bottle age.”
Juvé & Camps - Vinous	Reserva de la Familia	2010	89	Apr-2019
Review “Brilliant yellow-gold. Buttered toast, poached pear, honey and a subtle floral quality on the lees-inflected nose. Broad and pliant in the mouth, showing good heft to its ripe orchard/pit fruit flavors, which are braced by a refreshingly bitter lemon pith flourish. In an ample style but not lacking in energy. Clings nicely on the finish, leaving a faintly bitter suggestion of peach pit behind.”
