"A delicious offering from the Despagne firm, which clearly knows how to produce budget-priced Bordeaux that can compete with some of the region’s more hallowed names, the 2003 Mont Perat exhibits abundant quantities of cedar, barbecue smoke, spicy herbs, and black cherry and currant fruit. Like all the Despagne wines, it possesses loads of character and soul. Enjoy it during its first 2-4 years of life." -Rated 87, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
