Decanted for 3 hours Quite spicy on the nose, though it wasn't so on PnP at all. Caradmom, ripe black currant, ripe black cherry, bay leaf, tobacco, tomato leaf, toasted almonds and a slight hint of VA on the nose. Intensity of aromas is high. Palate sshows a lot of ripe black currant, plus fresh cracked black pepper, tomato leaf, coffee grounds, tobacco and burnt orange peel. Medium + intensity of flavors. Texturally rounded and a joy to drink. Medium + body with lovely medium + acid and lingering medium tannin. There is definitely a divided opnion on this here on CT. I loved it and found it among the best cru Bourgeois I've had recently. I've had classified Margaux recently that was WAY worse than this. It really needed air, though!

This seems to have divided opinion; I'm on the side of those who expected better, given the Chateau and the vintage. It has a bright colour, nose a bit indistinct apart from some menthol notes and a rather thin, cherry monotone palate, with a shortish finish. It's not exactly tired, just rather dull and lacking in zip and I can't see that changing with further time. There are so many better Cru Bourgeois out there for similar money, such as Capbern or d'Aighuile, so no need to seek this out.

Started a little thin, but rounded out after an hour or so. Very nice.

11/4/2023 - Screwcaps Likes this wine:

This is very good on a pop and pour half bottle. Med red colour, coming in slightly from the rim. Ribeena blackcurrant cordial nose, some dusty leather and wooden wine box, some oily woody herbs (rosemary?), Menthol, and very pretty and lifted purple flowers (violets- i got what I came for at this stage). On entry it is clean and med bodied. Bright and vibrant red and black fruits come first and give a modern feel. Follows through the mid palate to charry and meaty notes, with a touch of char and gravel. It's thinner and leaner than the nose suggests. It's very aromatic. Graphite and oak through the finish, then menthol and red and black fruit. Supple, meaty tannins grip. The aftertaste a sweep of all that pretty floral that came through the nose with a slight green capsicum and menthol note giving a slightly bitter and tacking grip. This is very typically Margaux, purple flowers, medium bodied elegance, and it has good length. My only complaint is that it lacks a touch of density. Would have loved to have seen this with a touch more ripeness and body. Modern, elegant, pretty and typical of appelation. This is very good now, a year or two more might benefit to fill out the middle and hide the slight bitterness of tannin still there. It's approachable now, if I had more I'd look again in 2 years. Opened in the morning for dinner.

Very average for me. Nothing clearly fouled here, but it never really got anywhere special either. Basic red cherry-ish nose, similar flavor profile, and short finish. Just kind of flat and thin. There's much better stuff out there.

2015 Chateau La Tour de Mons Margaux

By: Author Editor

Posted on Published: August 4, 2018

Categories Cabernet Sauvignon , French

I’m always a little skeptical of these (rather) inexpensive bottles that are from premier regions where they should cost a lot more.  It makes me think we’re buying the 2nd and 3rd tier (or 4th tier) grapes from a good region, when we could get the 1st tier grapes from a slightly lesser region.  And that’s the game, figuring out what might be the better buy.

But I knew 2015 was a blockbuster year in Bordeaux and many of my favorite Bordeaux properties are seeing prices rise quickly with the buzz around the vintage (Pontet-Canet, Haut Bailley, Cos, Pichon Longueville Baron, La Mission Haut Brion, Chevalier).

So I thought it’d be fun to try a Margaux from Costco priced at $25.99, which isn’t that good, figuring it’s online for a few bucks less.  But retail at Total Wine is a few bucks more.  So the price is fair, especially for a bottle that received 90+ points from most all of the wine critics.

You have to give it some time to open up.  It’s super closed upon first pour, but after an hour in the decanter, it comes alive.  I also popped the decanter in the fridge for about 10 minutes before consuming too, which helps cool the wine ever so slightly which I think enhances its appeal, at least for me.

The wine is signature Bordeaux, a little stinky at first, barnyard, mushrooms with some earthy spice; medium in body, the wine is gentle and light in the mouth; flavor is rather elegant in its delivery, spicy cherry, wild strawberry flavors; finishes dry and sticky.

For a step up from your average $10-$15 bottle, I think this is a good place to go.  Most other Margaux wines will set you back twice the price of this one, and might only be a smidge better.  I’m liking this wine the more and more it develops with air.  Enjoy.

Le Pape François invité par Whoopi Goldberg à jouer dans “Sister Act 3”

Le troisième volet de la saga mettant en scène sœur marie-clarence est prévu pour 2025..

• Publié le 13-05-2024 à 17h29

Ça va déménager en 2025. Sœur Marie-Clarence va refaire de sienne dans un troisième volet de la saga Sister Act . Avec Whoopi Goldberg dans le rôle de la chanteuse de cabaret Dolorès Van Cartier désormais sous les ordres, bien entendu. Et toute la bande du film original sorti en 1992 : Maggie Smith, Kathy Najimy et Wendy Makkena…

Il y aura peut-être aussi une surprise de taille ! Le Figaro nous l’apprend : Whoppi Goldberg a proposé au pape François de jouer dans le film. C’était à l’occasion de sa rencontre avec le chef de l’Église catholique en octobre 2023. Il serait un “fan” inconditionnel du personnage de sœur Marie-Clarence, a-t-elle confié.

Il y a fort à parier que le pape aura décliné l’invitation, même si Whoopi Goldberg s’est bien gardée de dire qu’elle a été sa réponse.

Jean-Paul II et Benoît XVI, rois des sillons

Le pape dans un film, ce serait incongru ? Peut-être, mais François s’est parfois montré bien audacieux par le passé. En 2015, n’a-t-il pas sorti un album pop et rock intitulé Wake Up ! sur lequel des discours qu’il a prononcés ont été mis en musique ?

Auparavant, le pape Benoît XVI a, lui, sorti trois albums pendant qu’il était à la tête de l’Église catholique. L’un d’eux a été enregistré dans la basilique Saint-Pierre du Vatican, avec le Chœur de l’Académie philharmonique de Rome pour accompagner les prières à la Vierge Marie récitée par le Saint-Père, et quelques morceaux originaux interprétés par le Royal Philharmonic de Londres.

Encore avant, c’est Jean-Paul II qui a sorti un CD mais sans sa voix. C’est Placido Domingo qui, en 2008, avait enregistré des poèmes écrits par le pape polonais.

Dès lors, pourquoi pas un pape acteur ?
