描述
Green Spot Chateau Montelena is the 2nd edition of the Wine Geese series. following Green Spot Chateau Léoville Barton. released in 2015.
Initially matured in traditional sherry and bourbon casks. Green Spot Chateau Montelena was then finished for 12 months in French oak Zinfandel wine casks. from the prestigious Chateau Montelena in Napa Valley.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Crisp oak combines with the soft sweetness of vanilla. white chocolate and marshmallow. balanced with signature Green Spot red apples and ripe pears. along with pomegranate. cranberries and maraschino cherries. the contribution of the wine cask.
Taste: Sweet mouth coating takes on a dry note thanks to the effect of the wine cask. Pot still spices subside with zesty citrus leading to ripe orchard fruit and red berries. A touch of marzipan and toasted oak add to the complexity.
Overall. a very nice twist on the Green Spot. combining the sweetness. spiciness and fruitiness of the classic Green Spot with the red berries and dry profile of the wine cask in a richer. more complex dram – Anne-Sophie Bigot. Distiller
