The latest vintage is solidly structured and dense in black fruits. Bright acidity gives it that fine spark of freshness and balances the power of the wine.

Gorgeous notes of blackcurrants, mulberries, spicy oak, graphite, and tobacco all give way to a full-bodied 2019 with gorgeous depth of fruit, ripe, polished tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. It's a hedonist, beautifully balanced, seamless 2019 that's loaded with character. Drink it over the coming 10-15 years.

The seamless, lengthy finish has very fine detail despite its heft. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e92Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2019 Monbousquet is a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, harvested between the 27th of September and 8th of October. The yields this year were 39 hectoliters per hectare, and the alcohol came in at 14.55%, while the pH was 3.68. A little reduced to begin on the nose, it soon unfurls to offer scents of licorice, tar, black raspberries and truffles over a core of plum preserves, blueberry compote and smoked meats. The medium to full-bodied palate gives a sturdy foundation of firm tannins, with bold freshness lifting the serious dark fruit and earth flavors to a long finish.\u003cbr\u003e\nBarrel Sample: (90-92)+\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Monbousquet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839295418592,"sku":"121620","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-monbousquet-st--emilion-grand-cru.gif?v=1708722593","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-monbousquet-st-emilion-grand-cru-2019-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
