Michael Schuster: Very sweet, concentrated, focused nose, and a lovely fragrance, too. Great concentration of fruit, very firm tannins, vigorous acidity; intensely sweet flavor; complex, vital, aromatic, strong, with a chewy, but not coarse, tannic frame, very mineral behind the mass of fruit and with superb length. A great, long-term Mondotte. More vital, vivid, concentrated, and tannic than the 2009, which is softer, fleshier, a bit less intense. The 2010 is still fine wine, but you have to like this rather extreme style. 2025–40. 18/18.5
