Monbousquet Vintage:2009 with pungent

with pungent

underbrush and an attractive stoniness that transfers over to the nicely rich flavors that possess slightly better volume on the sappy and long flavors that culminate in a punchy and rather delicate finish

This is serious

This Sassicaia roars in terms of bouquet

Monbousquet Vintage:2009 with pungentThe 1998 Monbousquet is medium to deep garnet brick in color with wonderful dried mulberries, kirsch and prune preserves notions with hints of cigar box, Chinese five spice and potpourri plus a waft of liquid licorice. Medium bodied, it's very spicy with a wonderful core of plum and cherry preserves and beautifully plush tannins, finishing very long and spicy. Delicious now and should age a further 10 to 15+ years!
