Château La Mondette 2010 

Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon (Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux)

Completely saturated black core with vibrant crimson rim. Petulant nose holds back on the black fruit character in favor of creosote, tar and cigar wrapper notes. A hint of cinnamon peeks through. Chewy tannins and marked acidity frame the palate. Blackberry preserves and withering black plums make a delicious combo on the palate and produce a solidly medium finish. Evergreen notes surface as the wine fades. Drink now to 2017 with some beneficial development.
