Château Monbousquet St. Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2010 Bordeaux (Revisited), $63.74-$74.99, 95 points, poured black right up to the purple/red glass edge, still broad clear wine ring, and moderately draped bowl.
Aromas had developed considerably in the almost four years since last tasted, with Boysenberry, Bilberry jam, Sandalwood, cocoa, and coffee notes making an appearance.
Full bodied with good acidity and firm grainy tannins now managed delicious flavors reflective of the aromas plus hints of sweet tobacco and pomegranate.
Finished quite long on Damson plum, red pepper, a hint of eucalyptus, and a spot-on 14.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with our spiced-rubbed rare Angus rib eye steaks.
Another four years and this wine will make music like Claude Debussy!
