Seemingly a perpetual smoking wine as well as a great value, the 2020 Château Monbousquet is no exception and has a deep, inky hue to go with pure, rich, powerful notes of smoky black fruits, chocolate, scorched earth, and subtle floral nuances. It’s a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, even tannic, yet pleasure-bent beauty I’d be thrilled to drink any time over the coming 15+ years. The blend is 70% Merlot and 15% each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and the alcohol is 14.6% with a pH of 3.75.HK$2,020.00 -

(12x75cl) 2002Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (85-88)

(12x75cl) 2009Vinous - Ian D'Agata (88-91)
Purple ruby. Open, aromatic nose is loaded with ripe red and black cherry aromas. Rich, lush and sweet, with noteworthy depth to the flavors of dark fruits, smoke and chocolate. Sexy, broad and aromatic in the middle palate, and long on the aftertaste, but this complex, very deep wine's youthfully chewy tannins call for a good decade of cellaring. This will probably be best between 2020 and 2035.HK$6,250.00 -

Wine Advocate (85)
Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting, the 2012 Monbrison had a light and slightly steely bouquet that nevertheless had satisfactory definition and freshness. Hopefully it will develop more fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, easy-drinking in style with a carefree, brambly finish that you could argue ought to show more ambition. Drink over the next 4-6 years. Tasted January 2016.HK$4,435.00 -

The 2015 Château Monbrison is a smokin’ good Margaux to seek out. With a deep ruby/purple color and terrific notes of caramelized cherries, currants, bay leaf, and toasty oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, fine, polished tannin, plenty of freshness, and a rich, yet undeniably elegant personality. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following two decades.HK$4,435.00 -

The 2016 Monbrison is delicious. Aromatic, pliant and impeccably balanced, the wine is quite harmonious from the first taste. There is lovely depth and purity throughout. Sweet tobacco, herbs, mint and licorice add aromatic nuance to the racy red fruit. I imagine the 2016 will drink well with minimal cellaring.HK$3,475.00 -

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (88-90)
The 2017 Monbrison comes across as a bit compact today. There is good persistence, but the mid-palate is a bit lean. It will be interesting to see if the 2017 fleshes out a bit. The red berry and floral flavors are attractive.HK$3,515.00 -

Smoky red and black fruits, spicy wood, tobacco, and incense notes emerge from the 2022 Château Monbrison, a classy, complete, medium to full-bodied Margaux. I love its overall balance, and it has plenty of mid-palate depth as well as polished tannins. Based on 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in barrel, give it 3-5 years and enjoy over the following 15+.HK$1,840.00 -

(12x75cl) 2019Decanter (94)
Such a sense of the limestone terroir on the nose and palate here with wet stone and graphite nuances edged with perfumed red cherries. Super smooth with a grippy but gentle texture. Well integrated tannins are lifted by the serious succulence on the mid palate, this is juicy and bright but also layered with strawberry, red cherry and blueberry fruit. Playful but also well controlled and well presented. The finish is lasting and impactful. A perky wine that is stylish and so moreish.HK$3,210.00 -

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)
The 2020 Mondot comes from the new parcels acquired by the estate of pure Merlot on limestone soils. Around 40% of the élevage was in tank. It has quite a fresh, precocious bouquet, with black plum and a touch of licorice, powerful and wanting to make an impression. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft texture, open and easygoing but with plenty of depth. The aging in tank plays a role here, rendering the finish pliant and accessible. Not long-term, yet quite delicious.HK$3,150.00 -
