Deep garnet colored, the 2010 Montrose opens with classic notions of warm blackcurrants, plum preserves, cedar chest and pencil shavings plus touches of menthol and underbrush. Full-bodied, concentrated and built like a brick house in the mouth, the densely packed, muscular black fruit is superbly supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins, finishing with great length and depth.

Seit 1989 liefert Montrose unglaubliche Qualitäten er kann somit als Latour des St. Estèphe bezeichnet werden. Trotz seines immensen Potentials ist er in seiner Jugend nicht mehr so unzugänglich wie früher. Für mich stellt er momentan, aufgrund seinem konstanten Qualitätsniveau, die Leaderposition dieser Appellation dar und darf als ganz grosser, heroischer Klassiker bezeichnet werden warten (2028 - 2055)

Rock solid, displaying a dense core of plum, steeped currant and braised fig fruit, with racy charcoal and ganache notes. Intensely chalky, offering flesh and refinement to match the bracing minerality, this shows hints of grilled savory, iron, warm paving stone and bitter orange on the riveting finish. Should age very slowly. Best from 2019 through 2038. –JM

A perfumed and pure Montrose, with lots of currants, berries and spices that evolve to chocolate and light coffee. Full body, with super racy tannins and bright and clean finish. Very fine and structured. A balance and freshness to it all as well as beautiful form and tension. Try in 2018.
