Château Leboscq Médoc Cru Bourgeois

The 2010 LeBoscq is a delicious, seductive sleeper of the vintage from the Lapalu family, whose estate near Begadan is a treasure-trove for good value cru bourgeois. This wine, a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc/Petit Verdot, is stunningly concentrated, with a dark ruby plum/purple color and luscious black currant and black raspberry fruit as well as hints of spring flowers, forest floor and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, lush and endearing, it will have many admirers. Drink over the next 7-8 years.
