Tasting notes
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.

60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Barrel sample. Expressive fruit and light but fine tannins but the oak appears excessive for the wine. Charry notes and sweetness with the finish slightly drying. (JL)
