Château Monbousquet - Saint-Emilion - Grand Cru - 2010 - 750ml - Chateau Monbousquet

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Monbousquet slides effortlessly out of the glass with seductive notes of baked plums, blackberry compote and dried mulberries plus hints of espresso, black olives and tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firmly structured with chewy tannins and lively acidity framing the Rubenesque fruit, finishing long and savory. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
