Château Monbousquet
Saint-Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
As is true of many Bordeaux wines the 2006 vintage is under appreciated following the huge success of the 2005s. This 60:30:10 Merlot:Cab Franc:Cab Sauv blend is fresh on the palette with plenty of tannic structure. The wine is soft and already approachable with violets and other floral notes readily apparent. A good bargain and a wine to acquire on the cheap if available!

Still young. Improved after decanting 2+ hours. Hold. Very expressive nonetheless.
