Chateau L’Argenteyre, Médoc, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Muted black fruits nose, quite minty and smoky. Medium-bodied but very ripe, with good concentration and acidity, giving a lively, perky style with immediate appeal; but the tannins are slightly dry and this may not age well. Quite good length but a gawky finish.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Great earthy graphite and pencil shavings nose, cedarwood and damp earth, already getting some leather notes. Palate soft and forward. Will this age?

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Dense red, young rim, good Cabernet/Merlot berry fruit, already quite open and nice balance on the palate, no great depth but some elegance and will show nicely mid-term.
