This is more overtly sauvage with an intensely earthy character that includes very fresh red currant

a generous sprinkling of white pepper and a hint of fennel

It has a much more sumptuous bouquet compared to the 2010

Monbrison Vintage:1999 This is more overtly sauvageThe medium plum colored 1999 Monbrison displays elegant, light to medium bodied, attractive flavors that finish abruptly on the palate. Nevertheless, it is cleanly made, pleasant, and enjoyable. Drink it over the next 6 7 years.
