| 2000 Monbousquet Proprietary Red Bordeaux Blend Saint Emilion Grand Cru | 750 ML | $124.99 | 95 Points! Robert Parker's Wine Advocate # 146 Apr 2003 Reviewer: Robert Parker | 2000 Monbousquet From an unheralded terroir, this Monbousquet was made from extremely low yields of 28-30 hectoliters per hectare. Aged sur lie and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it exemplifies proprietor Perse's enormous efforts. Black and blue to the rim, this wine represents the essence of this terroir. Its saturated black/purple color is accompanied by extraordinary aromatics of sweet blackberries, chocolate, coffee, incense, new saddle leather, and vanilla. Remarkable intensity, lively acidity, and abundant tannin provide definition and grip. This is the most intense, muscular, and "biggest" Monbousquet made to date, and that is saying something considering the 1998 and 1999! So be prepared, it is remarkable wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018. | Monbousquet Winemaker: Michel Rolland |
