Ahh, Mouton. Out of four wines that were poured at Mouton, the one that tickled mine pickle was the chubbernaut- the 2010 Clerc Milon.
RATING: 102.02 Sasquatch vs Michelin Man (now that would be a fight!) Two massive creatures (but one semi-soft, and the other bristle-like) battling it out the soul of man inside a 22oz glass...

Initial impressions on 2010. Quality varies. These are made wines, some that can be made delicious and may stop you dead in your tracks-- but some seemingly devoid of everything but a consultant and perhaps a muched hyped optical sorter...
A lot of alcohol showing- some wines integrate it well, some make it feel like you just took a shot of rum and had someone kick you in the balls. Still looking for the secret , searching for the sound...
My ratings scale: 101.00 to 102.36 points (in increments of .17 of a point)
101.00-- 101.17-- 101.34-- 101.51-- 101.68-- 101.85-- 102.02-- 102.19-- 102.36
Scores must be accompanied by a short phrase summing up the existential wine experience
