Deep nose of blackcurrant, plum, dark chocolate, eucalyptus, incense with subtle green notes. Full body. The warm soft entry belies a rich and powerful palate. Very chewy tannins.
Consumed the bottle over 3 days and it did not miss a beat. Given time, this 2nd wine of Monbousquet could challenge a lot of grand vines from the average-to-good vintages, a testament to the great 16’ vintage.

KLG5C wine club #3, 23/1-2016. Surprisingly good for a 2007. Cheese in both nose and palate.
