Château La Tour de Mons
Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Margaux, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
Dark ruby/ purple in color with a wide reddish rim.
Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, tobacco leaf, spices, graphite, dark chocolates, earth, vegetables and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 10 year old is drinking very nicely now, and probably drinking at its peak. However, will continue to drink nicely in the next 10 years.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.
Showing lots of earth notes with coffee and dark chocolates. Tangy and interesting.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry with notes of cacao and pepper spice. Fine tannins, medium savory finish, ending with fruit, sweet spice and slight earthy mineral notes.

Nice left bank. Could do with a bit more structure. But very pleasant to drink, jumps right out of the bottle.

Jan 1st, 20232020 vintage. First vintage for the Perrodo family, who bought this estate from French Bank Crédit Agricole in late 2019. True to type elegant Margaux with the hallmark freshness of this great vintage. A solid effort, but definitely not in the same league as the excellent La Lagune 2020 tasted alongside. Terrific value though. An estate to watch. Abv. 14%.

Christmas gift to myself! At last have experienced the Margaux! Definitely has some bite! A more masculine wine in structure. Smooth yet a little bramble.
Really opens up after an hour. Some floral and raspberry on the nose. The palate is velvety and berry with a little something like tar? All very cool things. I'd love to try this again in a few years to see how it changes. Merry Christmas everyone! @Shawn Thompson @Daniel Martinez Cardenas
