Reviews and Ratings

Wineboy rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

In the past when I tasted 2010 Bordeaux it was always "...but only if it had a bit more bottle age". Enough time has passed now !! I liked the balance and the artful use of oak evident on the nose. Beautiful plush smooth Bordeaux (especially for Medoc) with medium power of the fruit along with obvious Cab Franc aromas and flavours from 10% CF in the blend.
From Médoc in the Bordeaux, Chateau Blaignan (2010) is great value under $22. The wine is made of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wine grapes and tannic, structured with lots of toasted oak. It short, it needs five to six years in cellar to tame it. If not, decant for two hours and have with a rare hunk of steak. - Community Wine Reviews
