Ségla 2010, Margaux, Bordeaux A.C., France: Juicy and mouth-watering with aromas of tart dark fruit. The 2010 vintage was a strong one for Bordeaux and Seglas is a much-respected winery. I expected more depth and richness of fruit from this vintage and producer. However, this is still a solid wine. Drink: 2012-2024. 359810 13.50% XD 750 mL $69.95 Score: 90/100. November 5, 2020
