Showing similar from barrel, the 2015 Chateau Montviel is another sexy, forward Pomerol offering terrific notes of chocolaty dark fruits, dried flowers and Asian spice-like aromas and flavors. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it reveals medium to full-bodied richness, moderate acidity, sweet tannin, and a charming, undeniably sumptuous personality that will keep for 10-15 years.
