Chateau Loudenne, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Leafy minty blackcurrant nose, but not green. Medium-bodied, ripe, supple, has precision, and the tannins are present but ripe. The acidity is a touch aggressive now but needs time to integrate. Well-handled oak on the finish, which is elegant and quite long.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Earthy nose. Palate is round and full with dense fruit, and a summer pudding character. Firm tannins, weighty fruit and long spicy length. Alcohol a touch too warm

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Deep concentrated red, nicely concentrated berry fruits, some fragrance bordering on the leathery, typical Medoc, rich, almost sweet on the palate, broad and chunky, just a bit over-concentrated to be elegant.
