Spicy and toasty oak, blackberries, roasted spices, dark chocolate and ripe dark cherries on the nose. Lush and almost full-bodied, with compact, chewy tannins and a flavorful palate. Slightly less bold in the past with a bright fruit underneath. 60% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 10% cabernet sauvignon. Try from 2028.

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

A beautiful Monbousquet, the 2023 Château Monbousquet sports ripe black cherries, currants, chocolaty herbs, and roasted herbs on the nose. Based on 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 19 months in 50% new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's well worth seeking out and will keep for 20 years or so. Drink 2026-2045.

Broad, toasty and with a frankly polished frame, this red offers up generous notes of cassis and plum sauce infused liberally with roasted vanilla, cedar, melted licorice and sweet tobacco. In the not-shy style, but the fruit does drip. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2027 through 2038.

The 2023 Monbousquet is a delicate, elegant wine. Floral top notes lead into a core of dark cherry/plum fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice and incense. The typically boisterous Monbousquet expression of fruit is dialed back a bit, which I think helps the wine's balance, as the 2023 is not as overt as most vintages. Floral overtones reappear to lift the vibrant finish. Gorgeous.

92-93 2023 Monbousquet is a round and pleasing wine, fruity, chewy with a warm and spicy aftertaste. It is quite approachable made in a user friendly style offering a velvety taste of blackcurrants and light, fresh fruit. This should be ready in 3-5 years.

Dark ripe fruit, raspberry, strawberry and cherry with lots of floral elements too. Smooth and so soft on the palate with a chalky undertone giving some length and body. Chewy and ripe summer berry fruits, but with a soft sweet juiciness on the mid palate too before the tightness comes in with some clear clove and wood spice as well as lots of graphite and liquorice freshness. Overall finessed and pristine. A nice expression that will be good to drink in three-five years. Ageing 18 months, 50% new oak, 50% one year.
