Château Montlabert
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Absolutely delicious. Upon opening, supple, fruit driven aromas and flavor dominate. Charred oak, red fruits, very even-keeled consistency. With some time and air, dirty, dusty, earthy flavors upstage the previous incarnation. Forest floor pronounced mint, tannins that support rather than take over, crushed stone, chalky, almost like a burnt, bitter vanilla quality? Completely over delivers for the price. Complex, transcendent, and captivating stuff.

Big fruity Bordeaux - great with a hearty stew. Needed an hour in the decanter and continued improving in the glass.

Smells kind of floral? Not super fruity or syrupy. smooth on tip, tingles on the tongue after. Pretty sharp and dry, not full bodied or very round. Tingles on back of throat and sends a kind of wasabi spice up the nasal passage upon swallowing. Charles says very fine tannins. Overall light but flavorful for sipping

This is a very interesting Bourdeaux blend. Dark purple red, with long legs on the twirl. Medium alcohol with nose that grows on sitting. Tobacco smoke nose with dried currants. Suede leather on the tongue with earth and dried smokey cherries. Semi dry mouth feel on the last with tannins that contributed to a nice rounded flavor. Was so tasty with my brisket raviolis.
