Tasting Notes

Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois 2009 tasting in London. The Caronne Ste Gemme 2009 has one of those understated noses with notes of blackberry, cedar and tar – quite complex and cerebral. The palate is medium-bodied with a masculine veneer, quite rombustious and fortright with a sturdy finish that suggest it needs 3-4 years in bottle. Good depth, but not a wine I would approach in the immediate future. Tasted September 2011.
