The 2010 "G" Acte 2 is turning out to be a wonderful wine. It feels more settled on the nose compared to the "G" Acte 1, perhaps not quite as complex, but with greater precision, hints of charcoal infusing the blackberry and briary scents. The palate is underpinned by fine tannins, a fresh and somehow bouyant 2010 that expresses vigor. There is a lovely sense of symmetry on the finish that feels long in the mouth. This is an excellent follow-up to the Acte 1 from the Guinaudeau family and comes recommended.
Another 1,000-case cuvee from the owners of Chateau Lafleur in Pomerol, this is a seductive, round, generous wine with notes of kirsch liqueur intermixed with lavender and hints of anise and spice box. Fruity and seriously endowed, this is a pretty wine to drink over the next 5-6 years.
