ripe black raspberry and chocolate flavors
Sangiovese
"Discreet but not invisible wood sets off the equally pure and very pretty nose that consists of liqueur-like red berry fruit
It has a really tasty and lengthy finish
They produce four separate Chateauneuf du Pape cuvees and have hit home runs in both 2009 and 2010
Chateau Monbousquet 2000 ripe black raspberry and chocolate93pts Robert Parker Wine Advocate "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."
