Chateau Le Bourdieu, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Herbaceous nose, decidedly cool. Rather light and simple, but fresh and appealing. There’s little substance or complexity, despite the tannins on the finish. Quite good length, thanks to fair acidity.

Pencil shavings nose of graphite and raw cedar, quite oaky and clumsy. Palate fresh and bright, but oak dominates.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Good solid red, nicely concentrated red and black berry fruits on the nose, already quite open and have lost an edge of freshness, quite broad, open fruit, an earthy greenness is there that will remain, but there is solid fruit for the mid-term.
