Tasting Notes
A phenomenal La Mondotte. The purity and intensity is so amazing. Full body, super fine and creamy tannins. The clarity is great. You can see that they have pulled back on the new wood and went for transparency. Wow. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

Gorgeous, with dark blackberry and boysenberry fruit rippling along from start to finish, carried by mouthwatering anise notes. The long finish unfurls slowly, dripping with fruit while maintaining poise. Stunning. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com
Made from old Merlot vines, some of which date back to the early 20th century, this is a super concentrated wine that’s hunkered down behind a wall of tannin at the moment. Dense, oaky and built for the long haul, it’s tricky to taste now. Its track record suggests that it will age well. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2022-2030
Pure aromatics. Powerful tannic base but the tannins are ripe and round. Freshness from start to finish so great harmony. Limestone terroir apparent. Tight, firm finish. Restrained power. Now organically certified. Apr 2016, James Lawther MW, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2028-2040
