2019 Angelique de Monbousquet

The second wine of Monbousquet and based largely on Merlot with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Château Monbousquet Angélique De Monbousquet has a ripe, black fruited, smoky, graphite, gravelly earth-driven bouquet as well as medium to full-bodied richness on the palate. Nicely textured, with firmer tannins but plenty of flesh, as well as length on the finish, it's going to benefit from just a year or so of bottle age and have a good 8-10 years (or more) of longevity.
