Ch Monbousquet



2010 Chateau Monbousquet St. Emilion....$83.99
A lush, modern, style, with hyperdrive on the blueberry, loganberry and boysenberry fruit flavors. Nothing gets too heady though, as there's charcoal-studded grip, smoldering coffee grinds and roasted bay leaf notes all in the background for definition and further development with cellaring. Modern, yes, but firmly grounded in its terroir. Best from 2016 through 2035. 7,000 cases made.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Spectator
Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate
