Château Mongravey, Margaux, Bordeaux, France, 2010

Pronounced red berry fruits, lots of Cabernet influence on the nose which is toasty and has sweet oak touches. Creamy texture and vanilla and summer berry compote flavours. Acidity gives length and elegance. An understated style that relies on balance rather than power. Just a bit young and will turn out to be an elegant Margaux, in the leaner style.
