Note di degustazione
(100% merlot; 15% alcohol): Good bright medium ruby. Aromas of blackberry, dark raspberry, licorice, minerals and dark chocolate show liqueur-like ripeness. Sweet, lush, velvety and deep, but with good ripe acidity and violet lift to the flavors of black raspberry, menthol and chocolatey oak. A bit less high-toned and sweet than the "regular" La Fleur Morange, but finishes with noble fine-grained tannins and serious length. Very impressive merlot.

The 2010 Mathilde is 100% Merlot in 2010, and the alcohol is at 15%. The wine is a blockbuster, a delicious, hedonistic St.-Emilion fruit bomb with loads of blackberry, raspberry, black currant and cherry notes intermixed with some cedar wood, forest floor and a touch of toast. The interesting thing about Mathilde is that it is bottled and put on the market much earlier than most of the serious wines of Bordeaux. The Mathilde is probably best consumed in its first decade of life. Despite the fact that both of these wines received similar scores, they are different in style.
Aromas of blueberries and hazelnuts come through beautifully. Full body, with super refined tannins and a long, long finish. A beauty.
La Fleur Morange Mathilde is made from 100% old vine Merlot. Old being the operative word as the average of the vines is 50 years! Opening with aromas of stone, licorice, fresh plums and blueberries, this concentrated wine finishes with plush, chocolate, licorice and jammy dark berries. This is another Bordeaux wine that deserves an award for continually pairing high quality, character and fair prices. The wine will be aged in 50% new oak. winecellarinsider.com
