La Tour de Mons (Margaux) 2016

(93-94) pts James Suckling

Dense and chewy with very firm and silky tannins. Full-bodied and powerful. Better than the 2015.

Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 La Tour de Mons gives cassis, redcurrants, dried herbs, unsmoked cigars and rock aromas on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied, tart and chewy with an earthy finish.

Wine Spectator

Light savory details and tobacco leaf notes dart through a core of pomegranate and cherry flavors, with a dusting of sandalwood on the finish. Not big, but fresh and focused. Drink now through 2027. 10,000 cases made.

Vinous

The 2016 La Tour de Mons has come together very nicely during its élevage. Silky, perfumed and very pretty, the Tour de Mons offers plenty of Margaux character in a mid-weight style that is quite appealing. Best of all, Tour de Mons is a fine value.
