Note di degustazione
A powerful, ripe, opulent Saint-Emilion, the 2005 Château Monbousquet sports a dense ruby/purple hue as well as a killer bouquet of red and black fruits, truffly earth, leather, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and despite all its fruit and texture, it stays balanced, graceful, and light on its feet. It’s a gorgeous Monbousquet that shows how well these can age. Drink bottles any time over the coming decade.

Tasted blind. Blackish ruby. Very light nose. Round and sweet. Easy peasy. Not for a long life and with a hint of alcohol on the end, but already a fairly charming drink. Penalised slightly for heat and precociousness but grab it now. (JR)
A beautiful effort from Monbousquet, this 2005 comes across to me as one of their strongest efforts, with notes of toasty oak, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit as well as some licorice, incense and flowers. Full-bodied and opulent, this is an amazing wine from a terroir on the so-called “wrong side” of St.-Emilion. Drink it over the next 15 or more years. It is an amazing performance.
Blackish crimson. Broad and chocolate on the nose. Thick and sweet. Then tart and introvert. Falls away on the end. (JR)
