Tasting notes
Château Haut-Mounau is this gem of a Bordeaux red wine, particularly the 2004 vintage that's worth cracking open. It's mainly crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, giving it that classic Bordeaux complexity and elegance. Bordeaux reds are known for their solid structure and ability to age gracefully, and the 2004 is no exception—you can feel its potential.
In 'The Drops of God', volume 24, this wine makes a memorable appearance when it's introduced to Shizuku by Karl after the Médoc Marathon. This wine was highlighted as a "value Bordeaux" and even snagged a gold medal at a world competition in Belgium. It's the kind of special wine that's definitely worth trying.
Pour it into a glass, and you're greeted by a deep garnet color with a rim that's taking on a brick-like hue, showing its age. The aroma is open, with blackberries and cassis taking the lead. Then, you pick up dark chocolate, spices, and a hint of aged tobacco.
On the palate, it's smooth on the attack, with silky acidity. The tannins are velvety, making it a pleasure in the mouth. The finish is somewhat long, with layers of complexity building up. I bet it would be even more delightful after decanting. Give it a try!
