Tasting notes: Elegance and a beautiful balance, highly recommended by experts this Château Marquis de Mons 2011. The freshness of this wine is amazing. The nose is opulent, full and ripe. Some blackcurrant aromas on the first flavor are followed by ripe red fruit of blackberry with some touch of game and leather. The palate attach is sweet, full, and powerful. A Saint EmiE12lion Grand Cru as we like them. On the palate a mix of flavors and aromas with a long and full finish. A little bit toasted note with a nice touch of vanilla.
