Beautiful aromas of licorice, tobacco, cocoa powder, blueberry and damson plum hint of a complex wine to follow. Silky in texture, the flavors of the aroma profile follow through on the palate with a small touch of floral notes added. Compared to previous vintages, the licorice and tobacco flavors are more predominant, making the 2010 Top Block more reminiscent of a Rhone wine.
