Very structured and tannic yet plenty of bright fruit underneath. Full and very silky. Excellent.

The 2015 Monbrison has a perfumed bouquet with generous red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petal scents that are neatly folded into the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannin, sorbet-fresh fruit here with a lively and vivacious, quite fleshy finish that belies that fine tannin underneath. What a delicious Margaux to enjoy over 15-20 years, one that should be approachable not long after bottling.
