Sweet, spicy and juicy. Ambitious tannin that is perhaps too strong a frame for this picture. Moderate length. (RH). Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2017-2020
A dark, succulent wine, the 2015 Montlabert exudes richness. Mocha, plum, chocolate, spice and leather are all pushed forward. The Montlabert is not the last word in complexity, but it offers terrific depth and fine balance in a decidedly racy, overt style. Apr 2016, www.Vinous.com
The 2015 Chateau Montlabert has a well-defined redcurrant, cranberry and red cherry-scented bouquet with rose petal scents developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with kirsch and licorice on the entry, grippy in the mouth with a pleasant, peppery finish that lingers. Enjoy this Saint Emilion over the next 12-15 years.
