petrol and a smoky nuance

The 1998 Monbousquet is medium to deep garnet-brick in color with wonderful dried mulberries

and the time in oak was shortened

it would be unfortunate to leave so much upside potential unrealized and thus I would advise waiting for at least 5 more years first though it should easily be capable of rewarding 8 to 10

Like the Lavaut

Frederic Magnien, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques other_regions_australia petrol and a smoky nuanceThere is a whiff of herbal tea to the cooler and more restrained aromas of red and dark currant, newly turned earth and game hints. There is excellent energy and focused power to the muscular medium bodied flavors that are even more mineral driven before culminating in a youthfully austere, serious and very much built to age finale. This is very good and a class Lavaut.
