Château La Tour de Mons 2016 – Margaux

The nose is fruity, quite fine, gourmand and elegant. It reveals slight notes of fresh/ripe blackberry and ripe/fresh wild fruits associated with slight notes of fresh/ripe strawberry as well as discreet hints of licorice/zan and a discreet hint of cardamom. The palate is fruity, juicy, nicely built and offers a nice freshness, a slight acid frame, gourmandise, a nice structure as well as a slight unctuosity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fresh/ripe blackberry, fresh/ripe sour cherry, raspberry and slight notes of small fresh red fruits associated with a discreet hint of licorice, chocolate as well as slight hints of cardamom. Tannins are fine, slightly polished and well-built. Good length. The finish is slightly gourmande.
