Note di degustazione
Full bottle just 1,293 g. La Fleur Morange's 100% Merlot from 50-year-old vines. Very low yields. Spicy and well balanced – refreshing rather than exaggerated. Next to Ch La Fleur Morange 2007 it was less concentrated but, if anything, readier and more appetising. Bravo! (JR)

This La Fleur Morange Mathilde is also 100% Merlot, but with the alcohol hitting 13.5% in the 2008 vintage. It is a fabulous effort. Exuberant, hedonistic quantities of white chocolate, black currants, sweet cherries and Christmas fruitcake soar from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-tinged wine. Medium to full-bodied, round, fleshy and succulent, this is a major sleeper of the vintage and ideal for drinking over the next 6-8 years. This was a terrific discovery by Jeffrey Davies of Signature Selections, an American wine broker who has lived in Bordeaux for over 30 years. Both the 2008 and 2010 cuvees are remarkable efforts.
Very dark glamorous crimson. Intense, pretty ripe and very intense nose, Really sweet start – gorgeous stuff. Vibrant and glowing. Massively ripe fruit with lots of ripe, very fine tannin underneath. After tasting this, I can't wait to taste the grand vin! (JR)
