Chateau Les Grands Chenes, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Lean, zesty, grassy nose, with blackberry fruit and a good dose of oak. Medium-bodied, not especially concentrated or complex, but lively and zesty with firm tannic support. A racy, spicy style that should develop well. Good length, some mocha on the finish.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Fine nose: cedar and blackcurrant with some mocha. Tannins quite full and bright acidity. Medium length.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Dense concentrated red, very concentrated red berry fruits, robust and firm on the palate, but a nice lift is there and there is fragrance coming through, but the tannins are still quite raw, needs to even out over the mid-long term for the fruit to dominate, potentially very good.
