Cap de Mourlin is a very well reputed wine in St-Emilion. The 1997 vintage is fine and elegant to the nose and, to the palate, is well-structured, balanced and quite long, in a beautiful traditional style. Round, soft, with harmonious and supple tannins, it can be drunk now or aged for another 2-3 years. |
