2005ChâteauMonbrison,Margaux

Sans

“Sweet, rich, slightly oaky on the nose. Very well put together with brisk fruit and lovely ripe tannins with some velvet but LOTS of refreshment value. No inky or stringiness. Lovely complete fresh wine with real vivacity and density. Classic Margaux. Dry rather than lush finish. Two very different samples tasted. This note refers to the sample tasted blind.. The other sample tasted open seemed slightly oaky on the nose and slack on the palate.â€?/em>Jancis Robinson, 2006
