Château Caronne Ste. Gemme
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend
My last 375mL of 2010 and this was the best yet. Plums, cassis, pipe tobacco, damp hollowed out log, leather and olive tapenade. Pretty awesome for a Cru Bourgeois.

May 28th, 20192010 vintage. 40 hectares bordering Saint-Julien. Solid colour. Cassis, black cherries, blackberries and cedar wood. Well-balanced classic Haut-Médoc without great complexity or length, but it is in a very good place now and it shows no signs of fatigue.

Sep 3rd, 2013Full bodied, dense, deep ruby Bordeaux. On the nose: dark mulberry fruit,cedar, & a touch of eucalyptus/camphor. On the palate: dark fruit, cedar and light tannins. After 40 minutes decanted the tannins recede and the soft fruit is delicious. This wine is fully mature and a terrific offering from Medoc. If you have it or can get it, drink now and enjoy!

Mar 31st, 2024Cellared for 10 years. Made in one of the best years in Bordeaux. Sweet rounded tannins evolving into very dry dark tannins that grip your tongue and throat for several minutes. Tobacco notes. No fruit.
