Chateau Les Trois Manoirs, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Cool, leafy cherry nose, but actually herbaceous. Medium-bodied, quite concentrated, and surprisingly tannic. A severe style with an underlying dryness and lack of charm. Perhaps it’s not optimally ripe. Medium length.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Earthy, soft and graphite nose, touches of leather and damp soil. Palate round, with firm tannins, medium-long length.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Black-red, purple rim, quite floral, quite open red fruits with good natural concentration, tannins are there but to hold the concentration of fruit, quite robust, even a bit leathery, but good firm depth of fruit.
