Chateau La Garricq, Moulis en Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Leathery nose, quite evolved. Soft, rounded, and a touch flabby, lacking bite and vigour. There are some chocolaty tannins on the aftertaste, but it seems very forward for 2010. Medium length.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Deep blackcurranty nose, pencil lead aromas, solid palate but very well integrated tannins, smooth and drinking well now. Cigar box and blackberry flavours linger in mouth.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Good concentration of rich black fruits, slightly smoky from the oak, rich and almost a little sweet on the palate, big chocolate-y fruit, quite rich and broad, good weight and length, just a bit too “thick” at the moment.
