2007 Chateau La Mondotte Saint Emilion

Deep ruby-red. Brooding aromas of black fruits, licorice and minerals, with a whiff of game. Dense and rich, with a suppler texture than the 2006 showed at the same stage . Finishes broad and long, with fine-grained but serious tannins. Here's a vintage of Mondotte that will not require an interminable wait.
