Chateau Magnol, Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Dumb nose. Fairly rich, suave, a touch soupy, but not too flat as there’s good fruit concentration and moderate acidity to sustain the wine. Nonetheless, it’s forward and doesn’t seem to have much complexity and structure. Medium length.

Nice elegant nose, fine oak giving some smoke and caramel, dark palate, charcoal and black fruits, good harmonious finish.

Some maturity on rim, rather meaty, earthy nose, good depth of fruit, but really a bit chunky and earthy, already showing some maturity, good sweet fruit,but a bit “stewed”. Will be OK mid term.
