Informal TN-2009 Caronne St Gemme-Haut Medoc

[Jay Winton]

decanted for 45 minutes or so. Bottom line, very enjoyable and a great QPR as it's priced in the mid teens. Nice structure wilh tannins present on the finish but not rough or bitter. Worth holding for a few years as it will improve. Cabernet centric (60%) which I generally prefer.

I was impressed by this chateau's 2000 at age 11, but it was not made in an easygoing style at all.
