James Suckling: 93 Points

Some fine, sweet spices and licorice to the ripe but fresh currants and berries. Tightly wound and juicy, with medium to full body and a lengthy, slightly peppery finish. Fine-grained and evenly packed. Drink from 2027.

Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points

The 2022 Château La Tour De Mons is a blend of 57% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. It’s a beautifully ripe Margaux offering notes of red and blue fruits, rose petals, and background spicy oak. Medium to full-bodied, it’s beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and an elegant, seamless mouthfeel. Aged in 20% new oak for 12 months, it’s a classic, well-made Margaux that should evolve gracefully over the next 15+ years.

Jane Anson: 92 Points

Softer shape to this than many wines in the appellation, a reflection of the clay limestone soils that make it pretty atypical for Margaux, and here the spices highlight nutmeg and cinnamon along with ripe damson fruits, fresh acidities that give a welcome kick of juice on the end, 60% new oak, harvest September 8 to 22, 100% handpicked since Nathalie Perrodo took over in 2020. Marjolaine de Coninck CEO and technical director. The blend given is planted, not as per final wine, as they allow for a slight evolution of the blend after ageing, so these are ones to check back in on when in bottle. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

The Wine Independent

The 2022 La Tour de Mons is a blend of 57% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it starts off a little closed and sluggish, soon unfurling to offer scents of baked plums, blackberry compote, and chocolate-covered cherries, with hints of charcoal and bay leaves. The full-bodied palate is chock full of juicy black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with an herbal lift. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

Decanter

Sleek and direct, linear and focussed, a good crisp bite to the fruit with searing, vibrant strawberry and red cherry fruit and a mineral chakiness that has a powdery, grippy texture. I like the precision and detail, feels well worked, not trying too hard still with intensity and drive. Approachable and charming, fleshy and ripe, but friendly with just a touch of heat on the finish. HVE certified. - Georgina Hindle, Decanter
