Chateau d'Aiguilhe, Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux, France 2010 Grower Champagne and rim that marks itsFully saturated inky ruby. Somewhat oak dominated on the nose presently, with aromas of red cherry, rose petal, graphite and brown spices. Rich and lush but less obviously fruit driven than usual in this vintage, combining sweeter mocha and earth tones with ripe delicate dark fruit flavors. The slightly granular, mounting tannins will need several years of bottle aging, but there's enough depth of fleshy fruit here to reassure me. 92 Pts Ian D'Agata,
