Clos des Moiselles 2010

'Moiselles' must mean 'value' in French even if confirmation cannot be readily found in my dictionary. What a star for the price. A maraschino cherry dusted with chalk and pencil shavings comes to mind. If that imagery doesn't work for you, think of this as a solid blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and malbec with ripe fruit, classic Bordeaux minerality and not-for-the-faint-hearted, stick-to-your-gums tannins. Try it now with fatty-gamey dark meats such as duck or lamb or put it away for up to seven years. Score - 91. (Beppi Crosariol, theglobeandmail.com, Oct. 2, 2014)
