Mongeard Mugneret Richebourg 2005 750mL

"A distinctly floral and slightly roasted nose offers up notes of spice, cassis and discreet earth nuances. There is excellent volume to the imposingly powerful and opulent broad-shouldered flavors that possess a sleek mouth feel, all wrapped in a well-detailed, highly complex and highly persistent finish. The mid-palate is not especially dense (though it's by no means dilute) and if there is a nit it's that the finish seems to lack a bit of vibrancy. Even so the underlying material is so good that this should continue to provide an excellent drinking experience over the long-term." - Burghound, BH93, tasted 11/2015
