96 points (18/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "Rich and silky, the 2000 is a memorable success thanks to its generosity. (2006)"
93 points Robert Parker: "Although still youthful, I do not think the 2000 Monbousquet will develop much more complexity. It is a seductive, rich, generously endowed effort revealing plenty of spice box, herb, black currant, kirsch, espresso, and toasty oak characteristics in a decidedly modern, but opulent, fleshy style. Enjoy this endearing, long, velvety-textured St.-Emilion over the next decade. (Jun 2010)"
92 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Bright ruby-red. Roasted currant and black cherry scents complicated by sexy oak. At once chewy and silky in the mouth, with complex, fresh flavors of plum, redcurrant, vanilla, coffee, smoky oak and woodsy underbrush. Finishes sweet and long, with thoroughly ripe tannins. This was bottled in February of this year after 28 months in barrel; it wasn't too long ago that this wine received barely 18 months of elevage. (May/Jun 2003)"
92 points Bettane & Desseauve's Guide to the Wines of France: "The tannins are suave and much more elegant than many typical Saint'Émilions, which have a tendency to be hardening up in this vintage. It is focused, with flavorful length. (2011)"
