Finishes impressively long and bright

Monbousquet Vintage:2009 underbrush and an attractive stoninessThe 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!
