The 2010 Monbousquet gives up notes of plum, blackberry and cassis and enticing lifted dark berry flavours. This is a modern but beautifully crafted and executed style of St Emilion which, despite its power, offers subtle flavours and detail on the palate, with layers of fruit and plenty of depth. asianpalate.com

I love the finish on this. It’s different in style for this estate with bright cherries and berries and chocolate. Long and refined. Very pretty. All in the finish. <b.jamessuckling.com

Rich and ripe but not overdone. Good acidity for balance. Tight, firm structure provides ageing potential. James Lawther, decanter.com

This packs a lot in, with very lushly textured black cherry sauce, blackberry and boysenberry fruit all laced with anise, graphite and fig cake notes. The very long and fleshy finish is not shy at all. James Molesworth, winespectator.com
