Chateau Pierre de Montignac, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Slightly cooked and very oaky black fruits nose. Quite rich and supple, juicy and forthright, and backed by firm ripe tannins. There’s no stewed character on the palate, although the acidity is modest. A bit chunky, but a sound, middle of the road Medoc. Quite long.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Bright nose, little shy, palate fresh and blackcurrant cranberry fruit dominates. Earthy finish.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Dense young red, ripe berry fruits and already some fragrance, quite good blackcurrant depth and overall richness and roundness with good tannins to back it up, quite smooth and ripe, already quite forward, but has good ripeness and this will keep for a few years.
