This wine stood the test of time. The aroma was a bit musty to start. We decanted for about 2 hours before drinking. Good dark fruit flavors. I would give another couple of years, but easy to drink now.

Pulling from memory here but the 2002 Mon Chou was so Bordeaux styled. Smoky, tobacco laden with black cherries and cedar and decent acidity remaining. Still going strong. Coming from a great vintage in Napa. I’d say this wine has at least another 5 years left but it’s still drinking very well right now.

This bottle was AMAZING. The aroma was tobacco, earthy. The color was deep dark purple. Beautiful. Flavors of vanilla, lighter fruit. I have another bottle, looking forward to trying again. This bottle aged perfectly.

unremarkable, mild sediment thrown, deep Garnet color, decent body, indifferent fruit, bouillon and sour cherry, mild finish.

Grassy; typical Bordeaux-like wine; full bodied; wish I drank two years prior; something seemed off with the bottle to some; deep ruby color
