Chateau Duthil, Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Herbaceous leafy nose. Broad, rounded, fleshy, and concentrated, with lavish black fruits and none of the herbaceousness apparent on the nose. It lacks a little definition and precision, and has only moderate acidity, but it’s an attractive wine for fairly early consumption. Medium length.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Big and chunky palate, dense chocolate flavours, blackberry and earthy palate. Sold tannins.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Very rich black fruits, almost sweet and aspects of bitter chocolate.very rich and good natural concentration, but on the rich, sweet side which is not very Medoc. An impressive wine, but too rich and thick to be elegant.
