Yalumba - Jamessuckling.com	Yalumba The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz	2010	96	Jun-2020
Review “This has a very attractive, dark-berry, plum and blueberry nose with such impressive freshness for a wine of ten years of age. The palate has a very plush, polished and intense core of super fresh, blackberry and plum flavors. Super vivid, long and rich. There’s another decade and more in this.”
Wine & Soul - Wine Advocate	Guru Branco	2010	92	Apr-2020
Review “The 2010 Guru is the winery’s old-vines (50 years) Branco, a blend of Viosinho, Rabigato, Codega do Larinho and Gouveio aged in oak for six months. This is a library wine, last seen about nine years back. Over the years, it has been proven to me that they can age – thus requiring some adjustment in drinking windows – but early examples still need to prove their case. (I’d rather have people happily surprised than badly disappointed.) This has done beautifully. In prime time, it shows some complexity now but no decay. It still has fine concentration and a lingering, lovely finish. It feels full-bodied in the mouth. If anything, it is notably better today than when it was young. It has plenty of life left too. Let’s continue to take that in stages, but this shows no sign that there is any urgency in drinking it. That said, it is showing awfully well right now. If you have a few, pop a cork today. Save some for later.”
Emotions de la Tour Blanche - Vinous	Sauternes	2010	93	Apr-2020
Review “The 2010 La Tour Blanche is well endowed on the nose with scents of acacia honey, yellow plum and orange rind, just a touch of saffron emerging with time (a leitmotif of this vintage.) The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. This feels spicier than its peers, finely tuned towards the finish with a touch of ginger on the aftertaste. Excellent.”
Château Batailley - Vinous	Pauillac	2010	94	Apr-2020
Review “The 2010 Batailley has a vivacious, outgoing and quintessentially Pauillac nose with blackberry, mint and graphite bursting from the glass and demanding attention! The palate is medium-bodied with ample black fruit laced with graphite, sage and cracked black pepper. Wonderful depth and grip here, fanning out nicely towards the finish.”
Prager - Wine Advocate	Grüner Veltliner Wachstum Bodenstein Smaragd	2010	89+?	Mar-2020
Review “Toni Bodenstein's 2010 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein is intense and concentrated on the lemony-scented nose that displays intensity but also rather thrifty ripeness that delivers a lot of stone and green leaves to the nose but no generosity. On the palate, this is a sweetish and thrifty Veltliner with an austere finish that might improve with bottle age, but it has more features of the 2014 (with much more intensity and concentration) than with any another vintage. The 2010 was macerated for 12 hours due to very high acidity in the must. Tasted in Weissenkirchen/Wachau in September 2019.”
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.”
