Although still youthful I do not think the 2000 Monbousquet will develop much more complexity. It is a seductive rich generously endowed effort revealing plenty of spice box herb black currant kirsch espresso and toasty oak characteristics in a decidedly modern but opulent fleshy style. Enjoy this endearing long velvety-textured St.-Emilion over the next decade.
Bright ruby-red. Roasted currant and black cherry scents complicated by sexy oak. At once chewy and silky in the mouth with complex fresh flavors of plum redcurrant vanilla coffee smoky oak and woodsy underbrush. Finishes sweet and long with thoroughly ripe tannins. This was bottled in February of this year after 28 months in barrel; it wasn't too long ago that this wine received barely 18 months of elevage.
