Tasting notes

This was a more closed bottle than I had expected. Massive and typical to the Cordier-style. Dark red colour. Typical Bordeaux-nose with hints of blackcurrant, eucalyptus, dark red berries, lead-pencil and a slight florality. Fullbodied wine in the mouth and with a good structure for this vintage. Concentrated and young fruit. Oaky and backward. Fleshy and quite massive. Some dirt showing in the fruit. Medium acids and quite tannic at the end. This is in need of more cellaring. Try again in 5 years.
