Chateau Olivier 2010

Chateau Olivier 2010 is a Pessac-Leognan red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Concentrated blackcurrant and blackberry lead into a rich, fleshy palate with balanced acidity, integrated tannins and a long, structured finish, delivering depth while retaining freshness and definition.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, braised beef cheeks, or mushroom gratin.

95 Points - James Suckling

Pure and beautiful aromas of blueberries and dark chocolate that follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and a silky finish. Very fine indeed. Wonderful length to this. Best wines in years from here.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Continuing the great improvements at this estate, this 2010 is firm and solidly tannic, showing severity. As a contrast, it also shows acidity and black currant fruits that offer weight and richness. A balanced wine with a good future.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

Solid, with a saturated core of plum, anise and blackberry cloaked in ganache and melted licorice snap notes. Still has some toast to soak up on the finish, but the stuffing is there. This should evolve into a tobacco-filled version when mature. Best from 2015 through 2024.
