Tasting notes
The 2019 Montviel has a slightly Médoc-like nose with pencil lead infusing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, a welcome bitterness with a peppery yet cohesive finish. Not quite achieving the level just after bottling, but pas mal . Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Warm, comforting, quite evolved nose. Tannins and acidity still a little jagged. No shortage of either! Wait awhile. (JR)
The 2019 Château Montviel is beautiful, with a pure, precise, incredibly elegant style as well as medium-bodied aromas and flavors of black and blue fruits, damp earth, and spring flowers. It shows the seamless, balanced style of the vintage in Pomerol nicely and will keep for 15+ years.
