Description
The 1996 La Mondotte is a superbly crafted Bordeaux that reflects the elegance and complexity of a great Saint-Émilion vintage. This wine opens with a captivating bouquet of ripe blackberries, cassis, and plums, enriched by hints of cedar, tobacco, and earthy truffles. On the palate, it is full-bodied and refined, offering layers of dark fruit, chocolate, and a touch of graphite, supported by well-structured tannins and balanced acidity. The wine’s depth and concentration are complemented by a long, persistent finish with nuanced flavors of leather, spice, and subtle minerality. Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes such as roast lamb or beef, the 1996 La Mondotte is a remarkable example of the aging potential and sophistication of Saint-Émilion, showcasing both its power and finesse.Size:750mlVarietal:Cabernet Franc-MerlotRegion: Saint-Emilion Grand CruVintage:1996
