Castle Marsau - Francs-Côtes de Bordeaux 2006

Wine Advocate

88 / 100

byRobert Parkerthe2/1/2009

This Merlot-dominated wine offers up notes of cocoa, plum, and mocha-infused black cherries in a medium-bodied, pure, sexy style to drink over the next 3-5 years.

Earthy red berry and plum fruit. Solid if a little dull. 2009-14

Nez intense de fruits noirs bien mûrs, bouche puissante, charnue, avec une belle assise tannique. Potentiel.

Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, jugendliche Reflexe, violetter Rand. In der Nase reife Zwetschkenrösternote, etwas Brombeere, feine Gewürze. Am Gaumen stoffig, dunkle Beeren, feste Tannine, noch etwas spröde, bleibt gut haften, lagerfähiger Stil.

Deep crimson. Appetising well-balanced nose that doesn’t seem forced. Black fruit and toasty oak. Quite opulent with real lift and lots of acidity and pinched tannins. Good fruit density. Very dry finish though - tough work. The tannins surely aren’t fully ripe here.

Has some decent berry and oak character. Medium-bodied. A bit hollow.

Couleur rouge sombre, d'intensité moyenne. Nez discret. Bouche tendre, fruitée, suave, de corps moyen s'achevant sur une tannicité douce et aromatique. Longueur moyenne. Vin agréable.
