2015 Montlandrie

The 2015 Château Montlandrie is another jewel in this magnificent vintage. Made from mostly Merlot blended with 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in just under 50% new barrels, it offers lots of aromas and flavors of black cherries, forest floor, toasted spices and dried earth. Deep, rich, beautifully concentrated and with plenty of tannin, it shows the sexy side of the vintage, but still has structure, acidity and great purity. It's hard to resist today, but it will be even better in 2-3 years and have a total of 10-15 years or more of longevity.
