2019 Montus Cuvee Prestige La Tyre

Black as a moonless night, the 2019 La Tyre bursts with expressive dark fruits, raspberry, licorice and wood smoke. Iodine traces add lovely ferrous gradations. Bold and concentrated, the 2019 is a full-bodied elixir targeting power-seeking hedonists. Boatloads of fine-grained tannins provide a massive structure, but the sweet-tasting fruit can easily keep up. Patience will be rewarded.

A contemporary classic in the making, the 2019 La Tyre from Château Montus reveals a fresh, deep and complex bouquet of dark wild berries, sweet spices, pepper, licorice and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered with a concentrated core of fruit, it has suave, velvety tannins framed by bright acids and a mineral, elegant finish, reflecting a softer touch and a more sensual profile without the loss of any of La Tyre’s signature power and density.
