Château Mongravey – 1993

Cru Bourgeois from Margaux, typical left bank proportions of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon / 30% Merlot.

Garnet, a little bricking.
Powerful, dusty nose; a little animalistic. Black fruit too, but it’s not the most forward part of the bouquet. Brambles. Tannins mostly resolved, quite juicy. A solid left bank wine with fruit, mineral and animal elements. Probably drinking at or near peak. With time the dustiness blows off (leaving it seeming fresher) and a more balsamic character takes over.
86/100
