Château Monbrison Margaux 2022

Amazing how many of these Medoc peninsula wines are at 14.5%, although here the 20hl/h yield might go some way to explaining it. Enjoyable, a little squeezed in its tight bilberry and blackcurrant fruits, with spice and dried herbs rather than juice providing the counterpart. Lovely floral wash on the final notes, but this is marked by the vintage.
