Score 85-88/100 · Drink 1998-2003, Pierre Rovani, Aug 1997

The medium ruby-colored Monthelie Les Duresses (aged in 10% new oak) has a perfume of minerals and blackberries. This wine has a medium-to-full-bodied, powerful and masculine personality with flavors of stones, cassis and black cherries. Drink it between 1998-2003. As always, ratings with a score in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Importer: Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel (617) 731-6644.

Light red. Aromatic redcurrant and cherry nose. Supple and easygoing, with modest depth. Slightly high-toned and expressive. Tannins are a bit dry.
