Description

This second wine, from Château Monbousquet, is spicy and ripe with a touch of pepper. It has fruits as well, giving a rich character to the wine. Great acidity gives the much-needed a lift at the end. The nose is harmonious. It reveals notes of black fruit (blackberry, sweet plum) associated with a few small notes of coffee. The palate is mineral, balanced, fruity and a bit suave. In the mouth it expresses notes of blueberry and strawberry combined with a touch of blackberry and raspberry and a few notes of sweet spices (in the background), a small woody note and a slight hint of coffee on the finish. Tannins are fine and numerous.
