Community Tasting Note

  August 26, 2018 - My second bottle after last year's birthday. 1975 is my birth year and bordeaux has been disappointing so I am branching out. A less than perfect bottle. The cork was sunken about an eight of an inch. Color is extraordinary for a 43 year old drink. Dark Ruby to the rim but translucent upon close inspection. Complex nose of mild charcuterie, fresh cut oranges, and iron.
  The nose is almost identical to the flavors except for some tannins standing guard. This bodes extremely well for this wine going forward. Gratefully I have had a decent amount of very old wine and I can tell this one has the stuffing to last another 5-12 years based on the fruit left and the quality of tannins still present. Monsanto did a wonderful job with this Monopole.
