2015 La Tour de Mons

The 2015 La Tour de Mons has a very perfumed bouquet with violet infused red fruit, more blueberry emerging with aeration. There is still some oak to be assimilated but it is in sync with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannin, fresh and focused. A precise and quite mineral-driven finish lingers long in the mouth. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

Tasted blind. Sweet and simple. Chewy. Lively. (JR)

Glowing ruby and a rich, glowing nose. So fresh and fragrantly ripe and lithe that it seems to me to taste like a peal of trumpet music – this wine makes my tongue smile! Tight-grained, polished and cedary tannins fitted closely yet lightly, like a sleeve of handmade lace. Mouth-watering finish. (TC)
