2009 Château Montlabert Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

Owner and founder of C. T. Bucklin Wine Advising

8.6

This took about 30 minutes to wake up and then it shut down after about 2 hours. Medium intensity with nice complexity. Ripe black fruit and graphite. Structure was beginning to fade on palate. Full body and fine balance. Medium finish. #saintemilion #merlot #cabernetfranc #chateaumontlabert #rightbank #bordeaux #ctbucklinwine

The obvious Oak regime is fully integrated with fabulous rich fruit. Toasty notes, integrated tannins, lush and supple. Mostly Merlot here with 15% Cab Franc and a great price for a PreCru!
