Chateau La Mondotte 2001

The La Mondotte 2001 is offering a classical Bordeaux nose, with dark berries, cedar, liquorice. On the palate quite tight with a good balance between the rich fruit and a good grip from the tannins.

Quite elegant but need 10 years more in the cellar to unfold the complexity.
