The trend back then was big, rich, spicy red wine and Bordeaux wine was the most highly regarded wine at that time.
With these images paired with my lack of opportunity to taste Bordeaux wine, I had had the perception that red Bordeaux wine was big and masculine for long time.
Thankfully I have had opportunities to taste Bordeaux wine little by little, and found them not being something I had imagined. They were more elegant and feminine than big and masculine.

Maybe I had been wrong.
Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux Tasting is the tasting event of Bordeaux 2017 vintage.
It was another opportunity for me to find what really Bordeaux wine would be like.
Chateau Citran Haut-Medoc 2017
Ripe red fruits balanced with freshness of tart fruit skin.
Coffee and incense give depth and exotic feel.
Tannin is high but easy to drink.
Haut-Medoc is the region which is lesser regarded comparing with other bigger names such as Pomerol or Margaux, but this wine was really good!
Château Gazin Pomerol 2017
Concentrated fresh rose, cherry and apricot are embraced by fine-grained tannin.
Beautiful aromas and texture.
Château Rouget Pomerol 2017
Lively aromas of fresh and ripe strawberry and red plum are supported by firm tannin.

Fresh citrus, citrus peel and apricot.
It is a sweet wine but not too sweet.
This wine can be good as an aperitif.
Most of wines we tasted this day were more elegant than powerful.
JC said that they were classic examples of Bordeaux.

I guess I had been wrong indeed.
