2023 Château La Tour de Mons

An absolute classic Margaux, the 2023 Château La Tour De Mons offers up a complex bouquet of red fruits, sandalwood, Asian spice, leather, and dried flowers. It's medium-bodied and has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a great finish. I think it's going to drink well right out of the gate yet see no reason it shouldn't have two decades of overall longevity. (05/2024)

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 La Tour de Mons strolls out of the glass with easy-going scents of cranberry sauce, black raspberries, and redcurrant preserves followed by hints of dried herbs, tree bark, and black olives. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and invigorating, with red berries and herbal flavors supported by a racy backbone and lightly chewy tannins, finishing on a peppery note. The blend is 57% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. (04/2024)
