Château Montlau – 2012 – Bordeaux Supérieur

Youthful, very dark and inky colour here, not a lot of evolution, but very high colouring; colouring the glass even. The nose starts out spicy; here we have some notes of spice box, leather, with quite ripe and sweet fruit. Palate is quite rounded and polished now, offering a high ripeness. Again I would talk about sweet fruit, a mix of red and dark berries with some notes of leather, fine spices. The tannins are really in place; quite soft texture overall. Juicy and attractive with a certain complexity, a certain evolution; warm, with a medium towards long finish.
