For Malconsorts in 750 format this wine was shockingly approachable. Decanted for 30 minutes prior and the tannins are already barely noticeable. Beautiful wine with primary fruit displaying Malconsorts classic rose petal on the nose. Wine improved as it opened for an hour and then slowly started to fade. As other tasters note in prior CellarTracker reviews with Le Moine's Malconsorts if you have multiple bottles, I would be inclined to try one at 10 years to see where your collection is. I think this wine has a maximum 20 year run way. Very different schedule than Cathiard's Malconsorts. Not the highly structured Malconsorts I'm used to. Nice change to be able to enjoy this terroir on the younger side.

Pnp, color is medium ruby. Nose has dark fruits and spice with hint of candy. On palate, fairly concentrated, tannin is just about right and grainy, acidity and minerality is more prominent bthan sweets that I rather drink it once it was pour into the glass than letting it breathe. So, I am not too certain about aging the wine.
