A terrific sleeper from the firm of Dourthe that owns this property, the 2010 Le Boscq is composed of 51 % Merlot, 46 % Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Monsieur Olan is the consulting oenologist at this estate and seems to have hit pay dirt with the 2010, a major sleeper of the vintage. Opaque ruby/purple with oodles of creme de cassis, graphite and spring flowers, this wine also shows some intriguing foresty notes. Quite pure, rich, medium to full bodied with sweet tannin and adequate acidity, it will drink well for 10-15 years.
