Chateau La Tour de Mons, Margaux, Bordeaux, 2010

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Fleshy cherry and blackberry nose has some purity of fruit and elegant oak. Fairly rich, suave, juicy, quite concentrated but not at all extracted. Has ample bright fruit, sufficient tannins and acidity to give both structure, and persistence. Well balanced and quite long.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Tight nose but with depth, concentrated palate with floral violet aromas and berry fruit, gravelly palate and solid tannins.

Tasting: Crus Bourgeois 2010

Lively red and black fruits on the nose, good lively fruit and good length on the palate, quite pronounced tannins but they are clear and clean and a good natural acidity, still a bit on the raw side, but will balance out.
