2018 Château Mangot

Description

93-95    Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“Blended of 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Mangot is a little closed to begin, unfurling to show off bright blackberry, crushed blueberries and warm plums scents plus notions of lilacs and cedar. Full-bodied and laden with layers of pure, vibrant black and blue fruits, it has a firm, rounded tannin texture and long, refreshing finish.”

91-93    Jeb Dunnuck
“The 2018 Château Mangot comes from a vineyard on the eastern side of Saint-Émilion and offers a fruit-forward, medium to full-bodied style that carries plenty of blue fruits, some green, herbal notes, moderate tannins, and terrific purity. It should easily be an outstanding wine. Tasted twice.”

91-92    James Suckling
“This is refined and linear with dark berries, chocolate and hints of dark tea. Medium body. Firm tannins. Spicy finish.”
