Chateau Gemeillan, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Muted black cherry nose, with a light herbaceous tone. Medium-bodied but juicy and full of fruit, backed by firm tannins that give some structure. Spicy and lively, this has potential, and the acidity gives it some elegance too. Good length.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Earthy, little green pepper nose, coarse tannins and old school-style chunky palate.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Black-red, purple rim, quite richly concentrated nose, rich summer/autumn berry fruits, quite rich on the palate and quite supple overall, though the natural tannins will hold it, quite a forward, pleasing style, robustness that needs to open up, good medium-term.
