Château Monbousquet
Angélique St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Deep inky in color with a short reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, coffee, herbs and black tea.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, peppercorn, pencil lead, earth, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Merlot based blend from from Bordeaux. Rich and engaging. Fruit forward with nice complexity.
Soft and spicy, nicely balanced and elegant.
This 5 year old Second Wine is already drinking very nicely. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Good by itself or with food. A nice sipping wine.
A blend of 60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
14% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$35.

Very impressive second wine from a great vintage. Blueberry, plum, eucalyptus, cocoa, and light black pepper. Quite powerful on the palate, and the tannins has softened a bit compared to 2 years ago. This will have a long drinking window.

Deep opaque purple-garnet.
Black cherry vanilla nose.
Thick, tart, bitter on mid, astringent finish.
Needs time or protein.
A bit over extracted.

Bought this at local wine store and was extremely disappointed. Just wasn’t good. Bad even.

Nov 28th, 2021There wasn’t a whole lot going on with this wine but it was enjoyable with a nice balance of fruit and secondary minerals/earth.
