Full body and a juicy finish. Hard not to drink now as it’s so delicious. But wait.

The long, licorice- and ganacheframed finish packs on weight as it moves along, yet stays defined and pure. Impressive.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWE93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Enthusiast\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis wine is smooth, with a cream-chocolate texture that's rich and dense. Velvety tannins opulently balance with the superripe fruit. This is not a shy wine, everything is right out front. Drink from 2026.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJD93\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2015 Monbousquet showed much better this go-round (it was incredibly oaky last year) and is another rocking vintage for this cuvée. Beautifully ripe, full-bodied, opulent, and undeniably hedonistic, it’s loaded with notions of blackcurrants, licorice, dried herbs, chocolate and earth, with just subtle background oak. Despite all the upfront fruit and charm, it’s balanced, has a stacked mid-palate, and considerable elegance. Drink it over the coming decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Monbousquet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975633899744,"sku":"102392","price":424.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/ch-teau-monbousquet-st--emilion.jpg?v=1663884329","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-monbousquet-st-emilion-2015-3000ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
