01: Sehr tiefes Purpur mit scharlachblutroten Reflexen. Extrem reife Beerennase (Amarenakirschen), Kaffee: rahmig buttrige Textur. Satter, fester Gaumen, die Frucht ist auch hier sehr reif, gibt aber dem Extrakt eine verführerische, unbändige Süsse, im Finale Erdbeermark, Schokonote, viel Druck. Wächst wie immer fast über die Appellationsmöglichkeiten hinaus. 18/20 2005 – 2017

Although still youthful, I do not think the 2000 Monbousquet will develop much more complexity. It is a seductive, rich, generously endowed effort revealing plenty of spice box, herb, black currant, kirsch, espresso, and toasty oak characteristics in a decidedly modern, but opulent, fleshy style. Enjoy this endearing, long, velvety-textured St.-Emilion over the next decade.

Big and juicy, with a slightly barnyard character. This shows loads of fruit, with dark chocolate and berry. Meaty, rustic finish. Slightly too rustic to be outstanding. Best after 2006. 6,665 cases made. –JS .
