Mondot 2017 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is aromatic, precise, elegant and offers a fine density as well as a fine power. It reveals notes of blackberry, violet and more slightly fleshy cassis associated with touches of fleshy raspberry, lilac, toasted, a hint of graphite as well as subtle hints of cola and liquorice. The palate is fruity, juicy, elegant, well-built, delicate, precise, straight and offers a beautiful gourmandize, a fine acid frame, a fine firmness, fleshiness as well as a fine unctuosity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of raspberry, fleshy redcurrant and more slightly blackberry associated with a subtle hint of blueberry, cola as well as subtle/discreet hints of toasted, violet/flowers, liquorice and very fine touches of chocolate (in the background). Tannins are fine, well-built and slightly fleshy. Good length and persistence.
