Note di degustazione
(an 80/20 blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon, planted on colder clay and chalk soil not far from Troplong-Mondot) Good ruby-red. Precise, savory aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice and spicy oak. Concentrated and fine-grained, but the rich black fruit flavors are also juicy, precise and cool. The only question mark for me was the wine's finish, which showed rather strong and slightly dry oak tannins and suggestions of chocolate and char.

Unquestionably the best example of Bellisle-Mondotte (which lives in the shadow of its neighbor, La Mondotte) I have yet tasted, the 2005 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with sweet black fruit notes interwoven with new oak, licorice, and loamy soil undertones. Medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, fresh, lively, and vibrant, it will provide enjoyable drinking over the next 15 years.
Horrid sweet vanilla oak notes. Very drying oak. Hard work. One of the least well-balanced wines I’ve come across in 2005. Falls away on the finish. (JR)
