LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Strolls out with classic notes of fresh plums, blackberries, and pencil shavings, plus hints of Sichuan pepper and wild sage. The medium-bodied palate delivers bright blackberry flavors with fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a peppery note."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black raspberries, black cherries, flowers, licorice, and a hint of smoke in the aromatic profile gets the wine going. On the palate, the wine is juicy, fruity, round, sweet, and polished, with loads of black cherries, chocolate, licorice, and espresso in the finish. Allow it just a year or two in the bottle for the oak to better integrate, and it is going to be an even better wine. The wine blends 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.6% ABV. Drink from 2028-2040."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Based on 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Monbousquet showed well, with a dense purple and plum hue as well as juicy darker cherries, blackberries, spicy wood, and chocolate. It's medium-bodied, has an elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and solid length."
