RECENT CLASSICS FROM BORDEAUX, BURGUNDY AND THE RHONE VALLEY
Removed from a private collector's holdings in professional storage.
Château Monbousquet--Vintage 1996
Saint-Emilion grand cru
In original wooden cases
Parcel lots: 310-312
The 1996 Monbousquet is an outstanding effort. The wine is slightly tannic, but it exhibits an exotic nose of kirsch liqueur, cassis, roasted herbs, espresso, and mocha. It possesses excellent texture, impressive depth and richness, and sweet toasty oak. The saturated dark ruby/purple color suggests a dense wine. The finish is both long and well-delineated, with moderate tannin. This beautifully-etched Monbousquet will take several years to come around. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2017. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue 122
