  Ruby red. Attack with jammy red fruits, develops with forest floor & light oak. Silky tannins, good acidity give this wine proper balance & structure. It is on its very peak, but the question is how long it will stay there? Winemaker gives his wines usually 9 yrs, so the window should close in ‘18. I hope it lives longer.
  Ch-Mnrcht is now famous for its whites, but some of those 8% of PN are worth chasing for. Like this hidden gem of not easy ‘09. Lucky me who’s got 2 more bottles in the cellar :)
