Tasting notes
The 2017 La Tour de Mons is an attractive, perfumed Margaux with lovely red berry fruit and floral aromatics. Pliant and understated, the 2017 will be easy to enjoy upon release. It is perhaps a little light, but quite pretty just the same.

The 2017 La Tour de Mons is medium to deep garnet-purple in color, and the nose is closed before revealing baked plums, blackcurrant jelly and kirsch with hints of forest floor, cedar and pencil shavings. The palate is medium-bodied, firm and refreshing with bags of fruit and good length.
The 2017 La Tour de Mons has a pretty bouquet with red cherries, wild strawberry and light floral scents, precise and satisfying in terms of purity. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins that lend this a very smooth texture, although I would be seeking more grip and backbone on the finish. Still, it should drink well for 10 years.
Dark cherry and plum fruit are nicely pushed forward in the 2017 La Tour de Mons. Pliant and succulent in the glass, with soft curves and plenty of juiciness, La Tour de Mons is quite pretty in 2017.
