La Mondotte 2014 – 1er Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Emilion

The nose is fine, elegant, aromatic, powerful and offers finesse. Very pretty nose! It reveals notes of black fruits, dark chocolate and discreet hints of cornflower/flowers associated with slight hints of crushed strawberry, subtle hints of cacao as well as discreet toasted hints and licorice stick. The palate is fruity, juicy, nicely elegant, mineral, well-balanced and offers a beautiful freshness, fat, a beautiful tension, straightness as well as finesse. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, cassis and slight hints of blueberry, fresh raspberry assoicated with a discreet hint of dark chocolate and discreet hints of flowers. Tannins are fine and well– built. Good length and beautiful aromatic persistence. There is a discreet hint of dark chocolate.
