Tasted at the Montrose vertical in London, previous encounters with the 1979 Montrose have been a rum experience. Like the 1978, however, this was better. It was picked between 29 September and 14 October after a rather cloudy month. Certainly it shows its age with wide bricking on the rim. The nose is leathery and rather dour, although I noticed a touch of mint developing in the glass among dusty tertiary aromas. The palate is medium-bodied without the same cohesion as the 1978. However, the bottle was undeniably fresh with red rather than black fruit, a fine seem of acidity and a simple, pastille-like finish. The 1979 is not going to get any better, so pop the cork sooner rather than later if you have any bottles. Tasted June 2016.<br/>

Château Montrose
Bon an, mal an, le Château Montrose, propriété de 95 hectares, propose des vins de Bordeaux exceptionnels classés Deuxième Grand Cru dans la hiérarchie de Saint-Estèphe. Situé juste au nord de Pauillac, Montrose bénéficie d’un terroir idéal, composé de graves bien drainantes, et longeant l’estuaire de la Gironde sur plus d’un kilomètre. Le microclimat, propre à Montrose, permet d’atténuer les températures, protégeant ainsi les vignes contre les gels dévastateurs et les canicules, tout aussi redoutables. Les vignobles forment une mosaïque couvrant les terroirs les plus propices au monde pour la viticulture. Depuis 2006, ils appartiennent à Martin et Olivier Bouygues. En 2012, ces derniers ont fait appel à Henri Berland, ancien directeur général de Mouton Rothschild, pour assumer le rôle de régisseur. Ce grandiose château de Saint-Estèphe façonne trois vins, tous immenses, puissants, denses et aptes au vieillissement. Au sommet, Montrose est un rouge charnu monumental, d’une séduction absolue.
