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/>

Produttore
Château Montrose
Producendo Bordeaux eccezionali anno dopo anno, questa proprietà di 95 ettari, Château Montrose, è classificata Deuxième Cru nella classificazione di Saint-Estèphe. Appena a nord di Pauillac, Montrose è situato in un appezzamento ghiaioso e ben drenato lungo l'estuario della Gironda per oltre un chilometro. Il microclima locale, unico a Montrose, mitiga le temperature, proteggendo le viti dal gelo devastante e dalle ondate di calore altrettanto distruttive. Questi vigneti sparpagliati, piantati sui terroir vinicoli più privilegiati del mondo, sono di proprietà di Martin e Olivier Bouygues dal 2006. Dal 2012 gestisce la proprietà Hervé Berland, l'ex amministratore delegato di Mouton Rothschild. Questo spettacolare Château di Saint-Estèphe produce tre vini immensi, potenti, fitti e longevi. Il vino principale, Montrose, è un rosso carnoso, monumentale e persuasivo.
