2010 Reserve de la Comtesse, Pauillac France white wine anise and mocha are theThe 2010 Rserve de la Comtesse has a tight, broody bouquet that feels a little thin compared to its peers in this flight.

The palate is medium bodied with fine grain tannins and attractive red and black fruit, a little leathery with cedar notes towards the lively finish.
