Chateau Moncets 2001
This is a Pomerol taste alike from nearby Lalande de Pomerol and is made right up against the Pomerol border, this vintage is soft and succulent with a bouquet of almonds, chocolate, toasted vanilla and blackcurrent and has spice and red fruits on the palate. The 2002 which I have also recently tasted is less robust than this, is perhaps fruitier and less vegetal but I think is the poorer wine. Made by the team at Jean Pierre Moueix the kings of the right bank this has a long finish and is deep in colour and is medium to full bodied. (18/20)

just a correction
this wine has not be made by JP MOUEX but by an old winegrowers's family who owned the vineyard since 1872. See www.moncets.com.
Great thanks for letting me know - I suspect then that old JPM have bought up large volumes of the stuff and bottle it. The act as a negociant as well as producing their own wines and I guess that must be what happened! Always good to be corrected!
