The 2010 Ferrière has a lovely bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, cedar and stewed tea scents, classic in style and nicely focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, well judged acidity and a very cohesive, classically styled finish with a sapid aftertaste that urges you back for another sip. This Margaux always threatened to develop into a fine Left Bank - now it is finally doing so. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
