Nicely done Aurelius from challenging 2010 vintage. It is very nicely drinkable, but the higher level of residual sugar and acidity would guarantee good aging potential. Previously I had one case of 04 and one case of 05 from the same vineyard with pleasant experience so 2 years ago I bought also 2010 vintage.
