The palate is very approachable, soft and velvety, with very good balance and a fine texture because of the very fine tannins.

This is a late and slow ripening terroir. This was the reason why the frost of September 2013 didn't affect them, because the vines had not yet sprouted. In the last few years they have been on a quest in search of more purity, precision and character, improving the quality of the tannins to make them silkier without losing length and volume. It's easier said than done, but they are getting there. The harvest started on April 1st with the first Merlot and finished on May 16th with the last Carmenere. The final blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Carmenere, 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot; they didn't use any Merlot this time. After a sorting of bunches and individual grains, the grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks, some with native yeasts, others with selected ones. Malolactic was in oak barrel or tank, especially in warmer years. The ̩levage was in 77% new French oak barrels, the remaining ones second use, and it lasted 18 months. 180,000 bottles were produced. There is one single lot that was bottled between January 6th and 20th of 2016. I retasted the 2012 and 2013 for comparison, and they are developing as expected, showing the character of the vintages. 2012 was warmer and riper, an early, warm vintage, harvested two weeks before average. 2013 was the opposite, a late and cool harvest with bigger bunches and higher yield.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":32747929174125,"sku":"4725","price":7780.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32802872393837,"sku":"4725","price":1295.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/Almaviva_0af95869-fa2d-4ad5-bcc8-9dc9ea255a2b.jpg?v=1592322700"},{"product_id":"penfolds-rwt-barossa-valley-shiraz-2015-cork-0-75l","title":"Penfolds Bin 798 RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz 2015 (Cork)","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% Shiraz\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: 95, James Suckling: 97\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eRobert Parker: Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 RWT Shiraz leaps from the glass with expressive blackberries, black raspberries and wild blueberry notes plus underlying Indian spices, Sichuan pepper, forest floor and fertile loam notes with a waft of charcuterie.

The palate is very well balanced with rounded, supple tannin. There is a lot of weight in the mouth here, very focused and intense with blackberry and raspberry fruit, fine mineralit̩ and tension, leading to an almost pixelated finish. This is an impressive La Mondotte for sure, though the 2015 Canon la Gaffeliere might offer more intellect.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":32747864227949,"sku":"22227","price":11810.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32803135619181,"sku":"22227","price":1970.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/LaMondotte_b77462a5-e7b6-4b95-8a1e-c9ffef972ad4.jpg?v=1592410186"},{"product_id":"ducru-beaucaillou-2016-0-75l","title":"Ducru Beaucaillou 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003e85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eNeal Martin: 97, James Suckling: 99\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eNeal Martin: The 2016 Ducru-Beaucaillou, bottled in August 2018, is very deep in color. It has a tightly wound bouquet of blackberry, boysenberry and minerals and a faint estuarine tang of oyster shells. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, layers of pure blackberry and wild strawberry, and veins of blue fruit tinged with a conspicuous graphite note that becomes more pronounced with aeration. This is almost a Pauillac-like Ducru-Beaucaillou, quite noble and blue-blooded. A wine that should give 40 to 50 years of drinking pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Thief","offers":[{"title":"Case of 6","offer_id":32747762286701,"sku":"17197","price":9700.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":32803071819885,"sku":"17197","price":1615.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/6714\/3789\/products\/DucruBeaucaillou_02993db4-a1d6-4470-9d50-af3b1a7eb5f3.jpg?v=1592408642"}],"url":"https:\/\/winethief.com.hk\/collections\/price_-1001-2000\/southern-rhone.oembed","provider":"Wine Thief","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
