Chateau des Cabans, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Firm, oaky blackberry nose, very stylish. Medium-bodied but graceful rather than wimpy, with considerable freshness and allure. The lack of weight is made up for by its charm, and the very light herbaceous tone is attractive. Quite good length.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Polished oak nose, fine cedar wood and cassis, full palate with dense fruit, chocolate and mocha, solid tannins.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Solid, concentrated red, quite robust concentration of berry fruit on the nose, quite open and oak already blended in, while adding to structure, good broad-flavoured wine, more earthy than elegant.
