2019 La Tour de Mons Margaux, Margaux, Bordeaux, FR

Subtly keyed; restrained aromatics of pear skin, honeycomb and golden citrus. Just a hint of pastry cream and toast. The palate is deep, dense and concentrated. Fleshy and generous, tempered by a stony acidity sewn through the layers and layers of flavor. Yellow apples, kumquat and peaches sing. The chalky texture is the background music, giving ballast to all those curves. The savory finish calls in the wax of the nose, the echo of the radiant fruit.
