I would rank it at the top of the pyramid although the 1990, 2000, and down the road, some of the more recent vintages such as 2005, 2009 and 2010 should come close to matching the 1989's extraordinary concentration and undeniable aging potential. Its dense purple color reveals a slight lightening at the edge and the stunning bouquet offers classic notes of creme de cassis, subtle smoke, oak and graphite. Powerful and rich with some tannins still to shed at age 22.."(99+pts)

The black/ruby/purple color reveals no sign of age. The reluctant nose offers up aromas of smoky, toasty new oak and blackcurrants, as well as a few flowers. The wine is mammoth, with extraordinary extract, superb balance, and a frightfully tannic finish. A Margaux of immense stature, it is made in a masculine, full-bodied style that is in complete contrast to the 1990."(96pts)

The 1994 Monbousquet has more in common, stylistically, with the 1990 or 1982 vintages. An opaque purple color is followed by a huge, lavishly rich wine with full body, an unctuous texture, and layers of sweet, chewy Merlot fruit."(90pts)

"I cannot lavish enough praise on the young, super-passionate proprietor of Monbousquet, Gerard Perse. Not only has he turned this moribund estate into one of St.-Emilion's most exciting properties, he has recently purchased Pavie-Decesse, Pavie, and La Clusiere. I predict he will turn these estates, particularly Pavie, into superstars. As for Monbousquet, this wine benefits from malolactic fermentation in barrel, extremely small yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, and bottling without fining or filtration. The opaque purple-colored 1997 ratchets up the level of hedonism to considerable heights. It is an impressively-endowed wine with layers of jammy black currant, cranberry, and cassis fruit, well-integrated toasty pain grille scents, and an unctuous texture that conceals moderate levels of sweet tannin. Unlike many wines with that "loosey-goosey" feel, this is a well-delineated, full-bodied, powerful, classic claret. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2018."(90pts)
