Mon Coeur Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend

I had low expectations for this considering its advanced age, but leave it to Chave to craft a CdR that can go 20 years. Nose is soft and watercolored with purple fruit, menthol and black pepper. Palate is relatively short but it really pops in the mouth, fully resolved tannins still with some acid holding it together. Beautifully textured. Mon Coeur is a strong choice for a relatively inexpensive bottle to buy a handful of and forget about in your cellar.
