Montagne St Emilion Chateau Bonfort tasting notes

A fine, deep, ruby red colour, with a typical Saint-Emilion nose where the Merlot aromas are dominated by touches of wallflower, dried grass and broom. A firm backbone with distinctive tannins which mellow nicely after 2 to 3 years of cellaring. Altogether a fine example of a full bodied red from Bordeaux.
